Meta's frequent Horizon OS updates are coming at the cost of performance issues and bugs for developers. Quest headsets arguably get new features, improvements, and changes at a greater pace than any other consumer tech device. Last year alone, for example, Meta overhauled how Horizon OS handles 2D apps to allow free positioning and keeping them open inside apps, delivered significant upgrades to Quest 3's passthrough and hand tracking , and made dozens of other changes.

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?
