Enterprise-grade XR solutions are growing at an exponential rate. Many vendors are flooding the marketplace with products claiming to solve workplace challenges and optimise operations. Navigating this new world can prove hard. An enterprise ready to adopt XR must ask themselves various questions, not just finding the XR solution to suit their use case but also elements such as privacy, security, onboarding, XR training, cost, and effectiveness.

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.

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?
