Japan-based Shiftall is the latest company making an effort to deliver an ultra-compact VR headset for enthusiasts who are willing to spend big on maximizing their PC VR experience. Despite the tiny package, the MeganeX Superlight headset still manages to deliver the optical adjustments that should be standard for every headset. Though undoubtedly expensive, the headset overall is promising, provided the company can finalize a few tweaks before crossing the finish line.

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.

Is the Bigscreen beyond VR headset the future of extended reality? I’ve tried out countless XR headsets in the last couple of years, and while they all have their own unique pros and cons to consider they almost always share one consistent downside: size. Sure, options like the Apple Vision Pro might look sleeker than the Meta Quest 3, or the Varjo XR-4.

Remote meetings are here to stay - and many are BORING. If you are trying to engage your learners (or any audience), compelling content is critical. But trying to create stimulating content with the same tools you’ve always had is hard, right? Thankfully, wrong! Terrific tools in PowerPoint along with visual assets help you create the kind of dynamic content you need to capture your remote audience’s attention, with functions that allow for interactive sequences and navigation.

I’m tired of corporations contributing to the misunderstanding of virtual reality as they deploy branding tactics in place of genuine education. Apple and Meta employ marketing departments and vast legal teams attempting to imbue the vision of their executive leadership on the public. Terms like “mixed reality” and “spatial computing” and “augmented reality” and the “metaverse” are hoisted like banners above their efforts, obfuscating what’s actually going on.
