Today I want to get back to writing a post about VR startup life and personal development , an article more similar to what you usually find in a personal blog. 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.

With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

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.
