As content creators are slowly experimenting with Virtual Reality we’re beginning to see some great use cases. Virtual Reality headsets can be used by wearers who are afraid of public speaking to overcome that fear. The United Nations is using VR content to heighten the empathy a user experiences while viewing content of those that are suffering.

A lot has been going on behind the scenes here at Leap Motion. Today we’re excited to finally share what we’ve been building for the last year – Orion. We believe that technology has the power to augment human capabilities. In many ways it has, but in many ways we’re still separated from the vast worlds of data trapped behind glass screens.

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.
