With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

I just got back from Lisbon, where I attended AWE Europe. I’m super-tired because of the trip, but especially because we at VRrOOm had to deliver the VR world of Oxymore, a new musical experience we did with Jean-Michel Jarre. It’s been tough work, and yesterday I slept 3 hours because we spent the night fixing bugs. My eyes desperately want to close and I will get some sleep after I finish this newsletter for you.
