Fashion is physical. Right? While clothing has always been material, expression has always been something more. And, digital fashion brands have been exploring that intersection. Even physical fashion brands are using XR technology to sell their hard-copy clothing. Though some are selling soft-copy clothing too. From virtual clothes to virtual stores, there’s a lot to see.

Meta Connect keynote has just finished: for 90 minutes, Mark Zuckerberg and Andrew Bosworth guided us in discovering the upcoming products and partnerships that Meta is developing on its road to the Metaverse. Like every year, in a few days I will write a super big roundup of the event with EVERYTHING announced (you can subscribe to my newsletter not to miss it), but for now, let me just point out what are for me the main takeaways from the keynote.

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.

Quest Pro’s face-tracking capabilities will be quickly put to use to make Meta’s avatars more expressive, but next-gen avatars stand to benefit much more from the new tech. One of Quest Pro’s big new features is a face-tracking system that uses internal cameras to sense the movement of your eyes and some parts of your face. Combined with a calibration-free machine learning model, the headset takes what it sees and turns it into inputs that can drive the animation of any avatar.

Like many other consoles, the 3DS is available to play as an emulator, but you won’t get to experience the 3D effect by emulating it on a regular 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?
