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.
Can immersive tech help us tackle the pervasive and enduring problem of systemic racism? Technologies such as Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed reality – referred to as XR – have long been collectively touted as an “ Empathy Machine ,” and for very good reason. They enable us to easily change our perspective and experience what it’s like to “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes,” which makes them particularly well-suited for soft skills training.

With 191 country signatories to the Paris Climate Agreement now hard at work in the race to zero carbon by 2050, much of the heavy lifting in ecosystem sustainability falls on the shoulders of the world's densely populated urban centers. This conversation considers how today's AI-enabled simulation media, such as AR/VR, can be effectively applied to accelerate learning, understanding, training, and solutions-modeling to sustainability planning and design.

The 21st century heralded transformations in the field of education. Instead of focusing on just gaining textbook knowledge, developing other essential skills became equally important too. To hone communication skills, critical thinking, collaborative skills, and creativity, educators emphasized experiential learning. Field trips, laboratory work, community immersions, and other extracurricular classes provided avenues to develop such skills.
VirtualLink was an open standard that defined a USB-C based connection protocol that was “developed to meet the connectivity requirements of current and next-generation VR headsets,” and backed by major VR industry players. The goal was to make a single, thin cable the norm for connecting VR headsets to PCs, instead of having multiple connectors (USB, video, and sometimes additional power) at the PC-end of the cable.
The legacy methods of Sales & Marketing need an overhaul, with users craving engaging experiences over passive communiques. This is how VR/AR can help you solve this. The human-race has evolved to appreciate and enjoy worldly experiences. The concept of traveling for leisure (and not vocation, food et al) has been recorded as early as 2000 BC. In Ancient Rome and Egypt, spas, coastal resorts and public baths were a common attraction and were even publicised in the commons.

In recent years, VR and other immersive technologies have been gradually integrated into the legal system.

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?
