Hr is great tech term and can be used for hybrid reality and hyper reality my favourered term for apple so hr works for both.

Well if you are right imagine how the owner of domains such as HRp#rn & PokerHR would feel.

I know how much you have researched the term hyper and the patents Apple have released but hybrid makes sense as well to indicate the moves big companies are starting to make.

2017 is going to introduce "Hybrid" headsets that are capable of displaying VR/AR/MR content.

Obviously I call these MR headsets but I have been given hints that Apple will more than likely brand themselves and the tech differently and coin a new (or not so new)/different term.

The only problem I see with Hyper is that the Void also uses this term, so if they want to make themselves unique, will they consider this term now because a company is already branding around that technical term ?

As far as XR goes, MR is tipped to be the short term umbrella for VR & AR but going into the future if extra realities are introduced then XR could well become the umbrella term.

But if VR, AR & MR is going to be the only terms then MR might be sufficient enough imo and I know the consensus is split between industry experts as to wether MR or XR will become the eventual overall umbrella (all encompassing) term.

Pretty hard to get HR or XR domains now though because many were onto these trails already so I would not advise people start registering sub par keywords in this space because both are extremely high risk gambles. JMO though

GearAR ?
Samsung is stirring the pot again. If they are to add AR via the front facing camera, the question is...
For the S8 or Note8 going into next year?
Redesigning the Mobile adapter again nonetheless.
http://www.talkandroid.com/306925-a-new-gear-vr-and-an-augmented-reality-device-are-on-the-way/

New HMD sales estimates (been getting numb to all the estimate numbers for some time)
http://www.datamation.com/mobile-wireless/arvr-headset-shipments-to-hit-76-million-by-2020-idc.html

So... When will FaceBook 'begin' to launch it's SocialVR experiences ?
CES2017 ? or Timed to release of new GearVR-S8
I see a lot of SVR players lined-up and will make a showing soon.
The best 'sneek peek's' I have seen so far are where there is collaboration between users in a virtual space.

Now there is HR as well, my advice is to stop jumping on every possible acronyms, this just wont happen....just my 2 cents worth

100% Agree Gilescoley about jumping on every acronym but if you can get a couple of premium keywords in a term that could potentially amount to something then isn't it worth a little gamble ?

I agree this isn't something that people should even consider if they are not 100% willing to lose their investment but if Apple patented "Mixed Reality" hardware dating back to the 80's/90's on what it referred to as "Hyper Reality" then I am willing to give it a go.

I would not advise anyone else to invest but at the same time I am half expecting Apple to brand themselves something different than VR, AR or MR.

But that is nothing more than a little bit of research and gut feeling, of course I am aware of the fact that I am likely to be 100% wrong

Sometimes the people who end up with premium domains don't wait until the press release because by that time all those names are gone.

They have been working on 3D "hyper reality" displays for a very long, long time.

Now even though Tim Cook says Apple are interested in AR, they are working on a mixed reality solution.

Quite interesting that I have been tipped that Apple will more than likely call mixed reality something different.

Look what Wikpedia comes up with for the alternative name for Mixed Reality, yes (HR):

"Mixed reality (MR), sometimes referred to as hybrid reality, is the merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time.

To me worth the 99% gamble for the 1% chance.

That’s sort of my strategy now.

Buying prospects with potential, hoping they develop.

<---The Arsene Wenger of domaining.

Been close with 1 or 2, so like Wenger no doubt I might be saying ‘could have had those’ in a couple years

But for the most part to get these big names you need to be really lucky and like you say try catch them before the press release.

As I see it, not enough action to warrant blanketing other keywords with them.
I am sure there will be limited use of the other terms.
Even when one is used heavily as a term, I see little 'need' to use it in a name.
As I always say, it's not about the tech... It's about the NAME !
As this tech get's molded/merged together over the coming years, nobody will want to sound like a incompatible segment regardless of the truth about the tech. The broadest terms win.
It's all about user search and the need, or not, of stating the tech in the name.
Wishful thinking can't change it. Manually trying to inject it into social media won't help either.
A $10M advertising campaign might.

But you have to agree with this @VRdommy

There are differences in these techs to warrant different terms other than Virtual Reality.

100% agree about user search terms.

But Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality & Mixed Reality will each offer differen't types of experiences/content so there will be imo a need for three differen't terms?

I am not talking about the tech. It's the content that will massively be differen't.

It's almost like comparing Virtual Reality against Holograms.

No, I would not disagree.
But you must separate your self from the tech. I deal in names, not tech.
What is technically true is not always where the names demand will be.
You have to understand the NEED for a name from a marketing stand point.

Just remember, a Hologram is a form of VR and also AR and also MR.
Just a something to give the PURIST to chew on.... LOL...

If I want a Hologram though, searching for VR might not get the result I am after.

These companies know there is big money in marketing themeselves as the next progression.

This is the reason consumers will be bombarded with a couple of new terms next year.

Not necessarily because everything can't come under one defined term. But because it makes more commercial and consumer sense to have seperate terms to search for the specific type of content to suit each user.

After all video is just video.

But a large amount of people specifically search for HD versions of it

All the research was already done for this tech and all the articles show what will be he term used...there are always a few other articles by some big companies using other terms, but if you look at what the public are adopting, its there to see for everyone.

Thats why regging names with HR, XR etc are waste at this stage, companies really would have registered them if they knew they were going to brand around this acronym

So why didn't Microsoft or Meta or Magic Leap or Facebook buy up lots of VR, AR MR or Holo domains ?

Why don't techies buy up popular terms that they know are going to hit the mainstream.

They have known for many years VR is coming.

Answer is because they are probably not domainers so it's not the first thing they think of within the industries.

It just doesn't happen that way Gilescoley.

XR, again is a future forecasted term. Not a current trend term.

MR wasn't in anyones consideration more than a year ago and now it looks like it will be introducing itself in 2017 ?

I am also like you Gilescoley, I look at making a few $x,xxx range purchases once I know a tech is going to be a gauranteed thing.

But I also do a few $ 1.49 registrations on terms that have potential of becoming a future prospect.

Again most of these ideas come from tech insiders and won't necessarily appear on google trends/alerts until some time after.

When I hear that many respected tech insiders and companies refer to the future umbrella term of VR, AR & MR as XR I take a few $1.49 gambles.

# I am not saying XR or HR will make it as a term. But you on the other hand are branding it has a waste of money.

To say all the terms have been decided in the first year of Virtual Reality hitting the market is some amazing foresight.

I totally get you are trying to stop people wasting money and I 100% agree people should not reg HR or XR terms.

But for $1.49 and the fact I have done a little research into it I am happy to lose the $1.49 per domain that I paid.

BTW @gilescoley you said

"All the research was already done for this tech and all the articles show what will be he term used"

Serious question but what term are we talking about?

I am guessing you are just referring to VR and that no other term will be relevant to consumers?

Is this what you were hinting at or have I totally misunderstood ?

Kind regards

Gary.

I think a smart domainer can't possibly pass up xrcasino.com for $9.99 after seeing it gaining traction in multiple tech blogs and news articles and seeing it getting adopted by some silicon valley companies.

Everything we do in life is a gamble so with the money we invest if it comes off the reward to effort is massive. What would the potential value of xrcasino.com be if this term was universally developed and adopted for a $9.99 investment.

We can all play safe and only buy terms that have been adopted now but you will pay the high price for using this strategy as no name will come cheaply.

Buy to many tickets and you won't make any money even if you do win !

 

[EmotiveDomains]

True, but I think every domainer should reserve 2-3% of the portfolio for lottery tickets. Class them as business expenses.

Just don't base your business model on one of them winning.

Mixed Reality vs Virtual Reality vs Augmented Reality: What's The Difference?

As more companies race to compete in the VR versus AR race, each claiming that their products utilize either of the two technologies, another technology has entered the picture: mixed reality (MR).
