Stress Level Zero’s physics-based sandbox follow-up BONELAB (2022) has done spectacularly well on Quest, although the studio still hasn’t brought its award-winning physics action puzzler BONEWORKS (2019) to Meta’s latest standalone hardware generation. That’s about to change. If you haven’t played on PC VR headset, Boneworks is a narrative VR action-adventure using advanced experimental physics mechanics.

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.

A judge in Florida used a Quest 2 VR headset to view a recreation of events in which a defendant pulled a gun out at a wedding. Miami news outlet WPLG Local 10 reports that the VR headsets were brought into the courtroom during a stand-your-ground hearing last week. The defense team in the case commissioned an artist to make an animation depicting events meant to represent the defendant's perspective, with a segment of the animation formatted for VR headsets and viewed in the courtroom.

Sony unveiled a new location-based entertainment (LBE) concept based on The Last of Us game and TV franchise.

The concept, which is currently being shown at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, is said tocombine “the latest technologies including Sony’s Crystal LED panels, engaging audio, haptics, scent and atmospherics with interactive PlayStation game content.” Much

Like millions of kids in the 1990s, my first experience with puzzle-adventure games was Myst. The jaw-dropping graphics and cryptic storytelling lit my imagination, but my young age, the extreme obtuseness of the game's puzzles, and the gameplay's intense loneliness squelched that flame. Thirty years later, as I reach the halfway point of Epyka, I suddenly realize I'm playing the game I always wanted Myst to be.

If you read my previous Rokid Max AR glasses review from 2023, youll already know that I think Rokids specs are pretty impressive. The Rokid Max 2 glasses, which build on the previous model with a slightly sleeker design, are a decent upgrade. Notably, I dont think these glasses add much from a technical specifications perspective. The visuals are almost exactly the same, though you do get a slightly larger virtual screen.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
