To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

AR continues to evolve and take shape as an industry. Prominent sectors include industrial AR , social , gaming , and shopping. But existing alongside them is AR marketing. This includes AR lenses that let consumers visualize products on “spaces & faces.” One subset of AR marketing is paid ad placement to amplify a given AR experience.

Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
