I will focus in particular on my experience at XRCC, so in the end, I will also tell you how this event has been since many people asked me about it.

There’s at least six really good reasons why getting Half-Life: Alyx onto PSVR 2 is a good idea, and it would be a net positive for everyone involved. So what do we gotta do to make it happen?

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.

This week, reports are emerging that Meta is continuing to drop Quest 1 support, following the firm’s slow drop in technical support for the landmark headset in previous months. Meta’s transition to dropping official support for the classic headset feels natural at this point in the firm’s history. However, Meta’s dropping security support for the headset in an upcoming Quest 1 update could prove to be the final nail in the product’s coffin.
