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?

Meta's next headset needs to support color mixed reality, and hints suggest it will. Mixed reality is a headline feature of Quest 3. Meta even markets Quest 3 as "the first mainstream mixed reality headset". Despite this, most of the Quest Store remains VR-only.

PlayStation's State of Play presentation returns this week, promising a "new look" at PSVR 2 games. Airing on January 31, Sony confirms the latest State of Play presentation will last for over 40 minutes. However, while this broadcast includes "a new look at other titles coming to PS5 and PSVR 2 in 2024 and beyond," we'd expect this to primarily focus on flatscreen PS5 games with only a couple of VR titles, as was the case during PlayStation Showcase and September's presentation.

I will say we don’t think Sony accidentally released the game," the team advised Kotaku.
