As a consumer, it’s easy to think of AR glasses as a singular device. However, the devices are anything but monolithic artefacts. The frames, lenses, displays, computers, might all be made by different component manufacturers. Lumus is an Israeli-based company with offices all around the world. The company makes waveguide displays that it sells to military or enterprise developers or to AR glasses manufacturers that you might already be more familiar with.

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.

Roland Emmerich has lost his spark. There was a time when a new movie from this action auteur promised a high-concept global catastrophe, vividly depicted with the eye-popping annihilation of national landmarks, meanwhile hitting our hearts with a tapestry of interwoven human narratives, brought to life by big, almost absurdly charismatic stars. Regrettably, Emmerich's latest, Moonfall, feels like the Independence Day maker is just going through the motions.

I watched four episodes of All of Us Are Dead in a day, and then found myself in a mostly empty office building. Given that I still live in a global pandemic, this was ideal. But given that I just binged a show in which vicious zombies frequently jump out from behind corners to infect and devour their prey, I was a little on edge. Based on Joo Dong-geun’s Now at Our School webtoon, All of Us Are Dead begins with a zombie outbreak at a South Korean high school.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
