The music industry and technology come together to offer artists a new pathway for income. The first time I stepped into a Wave concert was in 2017. I jumped into the VR platform to check out a live performance by Iranian-born electronic artist, Ash Koosha , as he performed a one-of-a-kind VR concert enhanced by trippy visuals, jaw-dropping soundscapes, and amorphous 3D objects that seemed to interact with the audience throughout the performance.

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.

Skydance Interactive’s latest VR game, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners (2020) , launched to critical acclaim on PC VR back in January. Subsequently arriving on PSVR in May, the zombie horror-survival game seems to be celebrating notable success as the top PSVR download last month for both the US and Europe. Although we haven’t touched base with the PSVR version of the game since it arrived in early May, it seems to be faring well on the platform.

Some of the recent discussions around motherboard design are whether the motherboard manufacturers are actually adhering to the CPU vendor specifications. If a motherboard manufacturer improves the base power delivery and cooling, should they be allowed to go beyond Intel’s suggested turbo power limits, for example? The question is actually rather moot, given that the vendors have been doing this for over a decade in one form or another, so varying degrees of extreme.

Nreal is for sure one of the most interesting AR startups on the market. It got the attention of all the press at CES 2019 revealing an AR glass that is light, fashionable, and affordable. In 2020, it consolidated its product with a series of partnerships and a solid product development plan. There is much interest in this company, but also some skepticism since it promises to sell AR glasses for only $500, while its competitors cost all $2-3000.

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?
