I also visited last year’s VR world and found it enjoyable, but I suffered a bit the lack of interaction.

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.
Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear franchise and founder of Kojima Productions, definitely isn’t presenting a VR game at this year’s Tokyo Game Show (TGS) like a recent tweet suggests, although it’s clear the studio is taking more interest in the medium. “Doing the final check of KJP VR that we are going to show at TGS 2022,” Kojima tweeted today, donning a Meta Quest 2 headset.

This year’s celebration featured everything from a sneak peek at Andor , the latest series in the Star Wars franchise, to the surprise premiere of BTS: Permission to Dance On Stage – LA , a feature-length documentary featuring South Korean boy band BTS.
Basketball games used to be about more than basketball. More people play basketball than professionals and, in the 1990s, basketball games reflected that. These games were about the sport, but were also about the life and style of everyday lovers of the game. A project on Kickstarter is funding a VR basketball game that returns to that spirit. Vinci Games and Blacktop Hoops.

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?

Sony’s long awaited PSVR 2 isn’t here just yet but after an extensive hands-on with the headset it’s clear it’ll be worth the wait. Last week I visited Sony’s PlayStation headquarters in San Mateo, CA to see PlayStation VR 2 in person for the first time. Though we’ve known the full on-paper PSVR 2 specs for quite some time now , there’s still a lot about using a headset that isn’t easily quantified from numbers alone.
