In particular, I want to talk about a strategy I’ve recently applied to plan my days better and align what I’m doing with what I want to obtain in my VR career. I’ve been using this strategy for a few weeks now and I’m seeing very positive results, so I’m sharing it with you.

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.

I recently went hands-on with Pico 4 Ultra and the Pico Motion Trackers at ByteDance's launch event. Pico 4 Ultra is the first direct competitor to Meta Quest 3. On paper, it should offer superior passthrough and multitasking, as well as longer battery life. I haven't had nearly enough time with Pico 4 Ultra yet to say anything about the battery, but I can tell you about its passthrough and multitasking capabilities, as well as how its lenses, displays, controllers, and comfort compare.

MyDearest announced that The Exit 8 VR will make its PC VR debut via Steam soon. Developed by KOTAKE CREATE, the game first burst onto the scene as a flatscreen title on Steam in 2023, quickly going viral thanks to its uptake by major streamers worldwide. With such success, perhaps a VR port of the title should have been inevitable, and the game reached Quest platforms earlier this year.
