I had the pleasure of participating to the “VR Visionaries” event in Kaohsiung and then I headed to Taipei to meet some XR companies (like HTC ) and people. In Taiwan, all western websites work and so you don’t need to set up a VPN just to use Google. It felt like magic.

This could actually be quite beneficial for Meta, Microsoft, and Magic Leap. They can practice complex procedures, simulate real-world scenarios, and access contextual information, leading to faster skill acquisition and reduced training costs. This improves first-time fix rates and reduces the need for on-site visits.
