One of my favorite video games of all time is Jet Set Radio, as a kid I loved running around the city escaping the law and painting the town red.and yellow, green, blue, and purple (rip prince) I once tried to pitch SEGA to do Jet Set for Kinect as I felt it was a perfect platform for virtual graffiti. Well I hope the Kingspray team were also inspired by Jet Set Radio because when I saw their promo video I immediately thought of that game.

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.

"Can I jump straight to the MMA", these were my words after trying SilVRThread's Skiing training demo. Don't get me wrong the Skiing demo was super exhilarating and in the real world the first time I went skiing was one of the most "real" experiences I ever had. SilVRThread captured this more that any extreme sports VR video I have experienced yet. That experience was great, the VR experience now that was mind blowing.

For example, AMD sealed the deal with THATIC , Chinese government owned investment fund – which will see their x86 processors enter Chinese enterprise and government sectors in a big way. Second part of the strategy was to finally become a fabless semiconductor, with all the risks and rewards involved with that move.

What VR games are popular with HTC Vive’s early adopters The Steam Gauge data is a bit confusing on this score, though. While both Tilt Brush and Fantastic Contraption hover around 40,000 estimated registered users so far, Job Simulator is much less popular, with only about 24,000 users in Steam Gauge’s count (Fig. 1). This could be an artifact of our system’s sampling, or it could suggest that users are simply less eager to download Job Simulator after they get their VR rooms set up.

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?
