Valve’s monthly Steam Survey has long offered some useful insight into which headsets are actively connected to users computers and the share of the Steam population that’s using each, but the figures provided are relative to the non-static Steam population, which obfuscates the actual adoption trend of VR headsets on the platform. To demystify the data, Road to VR has created a model which derives actual headset counts by correcting for Steam’s changing population.

‘Traveling While Black’ details the importance of the Green Book for Black America in the early to mid 1900’s. For African-Americans traveling through the ‘Deep South’ of the United States during the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s, The Green Book was an absolute essential publication. Penned by New York City mailman Victor Hugo Green in 1936, The Green Book was an annual guidebook that informed travelers of various services and establishments known to be welcoming to the African-American community

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.

Some weeks ago, I have published my post where I detailed how to install the 6 DOF Controllers devkit for the Vive Focus. Later on, I published on my social media a video of the controllers in action, shot directly from inside my Vive Focus. As you can see, this video is in a nice monocular undistorted (actually, there are some distortions… so, “less distorted”) format that is different from the ones that I was used to publish until that moment, that showed a distorted binocula

The games giant joins VRM Consortium in Japan as an observer, but does that mean they’re closer to entering the immersive space? As early as 2016, former Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima had already hinted that the company was “looking into” VR. In a later interview in 2017, that interest had been somewhat upgraded to say they were “studying” the possibility of perhaps adding a HMD accessory to the Nintendo Switch once they were convinced users could play for longer durations without experie
