HTC is sweetening the pot for VR developers selling content on its VIVEPORT VR storefront, on both PC VR and its standalone Vive XR Elite headset. HTC announced today that it will be increasing the revenue share of sales made on its Viveport VR platform to 90%. That means the developer keeps 90% of the revenue from apps bought on the platform while the platform keeps only 10%.

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.

One of the most popular use cases for generative AI is writing. This is thanks to the ability of tools like ChatGPT and Gemini to create any kind of text, from poetry and fiction to technical documents. Their ability to understand context and mimic any human writing style in order to create comprehensive content on any subject is probably their most impressive ability right now.

There is no doubt about it: generative AI is a transformative technology – a revolutionary tool that will change how we work. However, adopting any transformative technology requires careful thought. It’s not just a case of “futz around and see.” If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my long career consulting with organizations, it’s that transformation never starts with the technology itself.

This morning I was browsing the web to do research for one of my next articles, and I found a picture of that Japanese headset that people could use only by lying on a bed. My mind so started thinking about all the crazy XR devices that I saw in the almost ten years that I’ve been in the XR space: some of them were totally nonsense, while others were genius; some became products, others were just research; some of them I managed to try, others I did not.

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?

Almost 40% of all global employment may be affected by AI, and in advanced economies, the figure could be as high as 60%, according to analysis by the International Monetary Fund. But don’t be alarmed. That doesn’t mean 40% to 60% of jobs will disappear altogether. Instead, it means that AI automation is likely to take away, streamline or enhance some of the tasks associated with those jobs.
