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.

Upload VR

Clawball is a 3v3 feline soccer game inspired by Gorilla Tag, and we went hands-on with the alpha build. Here are our impressions.
