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.

When was the last time you shopped in a physical store? In just a few months, COVID-19 has turned in-store shopping into something merely nostalgic. Many retail brands with brick and mortar stores have pivoted and profited from a digital presence.

If you are in the VR field since some years, for sure you remember the hype when the Infinadeck was revealed. It was a very big treadmill, offering true natural locomotion: with it, you didn’t need weird movements like walking in place or slipping on a surface, but you could just walk like in real life to walk in VR.

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?

Mixed reality (MR) technology merges real life and virtual reality in real time. Like virtual reality , MR uses headsets or head-mounted displays (HMDs) to display virtual elements in 3D. But unlike VR, mixed reality simulations bring virtual creations to life in a physical space. Where VR is entirely computer-generated, MR can render environments and visualizations where real and virtual objects co-exist, like in AR, but also interact with each other, unlike in augmented reality.
