It’s a while that I hear talking about STYLY in the VR communities: in these years, I’ve listened to many creators that praised this platform for creating and distributing XR content in an easy way. That’s why when I had the opportunity to interview Kevin Joyce from the company, I immediately exploited it to ask him not only about Styly and his creators, but also something more about Japan and the M-word.
“Yo dog, we heard you like video games…” We’ve all been there. You’ve just finished an intense round of (insert your favorite VR game here) and one of your friends steps away to use the restroom or grab a quick bite to eat, leaving you and the rest of your party waiting patiently in the pre-game lobby. Instead of twiddling your virtual thumbs in anticipation of their return, why not take advantage of your newfound downtime with some 2D retro gaming, all without havi
The world mapped and sold as NFTs to create an AR “metaverse” layer over the physical world. You’ve heard this song before. But, not like this. “Anybody can build a digital layer over the world… the point is, what is the service that you provide?” OVR COO and co-founder, Diego Di Tommaso, told ARPost. “Is it a stand-alone thing, or something that adds value?”.

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.
I’m finally finding some time to write a few articles that I have left back from my journey to Silicon Valley to attend AWE US.

Much ado has been made about Meta’s latest avatars which juxtapose impressive expression against, well… a complete lack of legs. While full-body tracking is both desirable and achievable today with outside-in tracking systems, Meta doesn’t think it’s viable with inside-out tracking on headsets like Quest 2. However, the company say it’s investigating ‘fake’ legs instead.

Shopping malls are struggling. You can blame COVID-19, but before that, it was because of online orders, and before that, it was because of something else. Even most busy malls in urban centers have an occasional empty storefront. For property management, that means lost revenue and lost attraction to the whole building. If you’re a regular reader of ARPost, when you read “property management” you might have thought of Darabase.

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?
11 min read Many have already heard about the rebranding of Facebook by launching the Metaverse. This is a direct confirmation that in the relatively near future, the boundaries between the user and the provider of any service will be very blurred.
