“It has been proven that people learn better through an immersive experience. The training tools powered by Virtual\/Augmented Reality enable users to retain the material better while cutting costs & eliminating safety risks. Read [link].  #VirtualReality #VR #AR<\/p>\n

So there are 4 claims here:<\/p>\n

A. people learn better through an immersive experience<\/p>\n

B.  enable users to retain the material better <\/p>\n

C. cutting costs<\/p>\n

D. eliminate safety risks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here’s my vote on these claims:  <\/p>\n

A. people learn better through an immersive experience – No. \ud83d\udc4e<\/p>\n

B.  enable users to retain the material better  – No, because ‘better’ is flaky. I’ll shoot at “retain” too. \ud83d\udc4e<\/p>\n

C. cutting costs – Yes. \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n

D. eliminate safety risks.- Yes. \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The link provided goes to a business website that is selling developer services to make things in Unity.  On the front page, there are NO claims about learning that I can find at all.  So the “Read:” doesn’t seem to invite you to read more about facts supporting those claims. They are asking you to read all about how their business is cool.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Overall. that’s a score of 50%.  Still, failing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remember that I’ve pointed to how dangerous & misleading “hand waive” language is.  As soon as this started with “It has been proven that…” my hackles go up. <\/p>\n
