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.

We've seen a bit of Avatar: The Last Airbender in VR before, thanks to the rocksteady Rumble. However, that's only about earthbending. If you're looking for something where you can play around with all four elements, then pay attention to Elements Divided because it could well be just what you're after. It's not officially an Avatar game - what a world that would be - but it does a darn good job of letting you play around with water, fire, earth, and air.
