The pace of change with new VR product designs is about to increase exponentially.
And while this is one thing to move that along, it's not the only thing.

HTC to launch their version of a 'mobile' VR device, and they say not just a simple one like GearVR.
https://www.cnet.com/news/htc-to-launch-new-mobile-vr-device-in-the-coming-months-says-cfo/

Once bit, twice shy !
Folks are just over reactionary, and I use to think it was just the money heads in Wall Street.
Seems we are moving into stage 2. First one was over-estimating now that leads to under-estimating.

It's my opinion that marketers that are not ready to go by x-mas 2018 will loose a premium opportunity.

Just on Intels website and found something that i thought was interesting.

Just like Conor McGregor's stolen Vince McMahon's walk, Merged Reality's stolen the MR abbreviation.

How's it feel to be onboard the Merged Reality train Elad?

...LOL... so to add to the confusion, when someone says "MR" we might need to ask mixed or merged ?
...LOL...
Honestly, I hate the way most folks and Co's have tried to define the techs.
Most are not valid, especially when they are describing the tech's they are not using.

Using those def's from Intel, HoloLens qualifies as a merged device.

So it's not a wonder the battles that get started by the tech wannabees who take it all at face value.
Ya know, I really am not sided on the tech's, just the domains used for it (for now).
But I actually see these merged style goggles being top dog for home use 'next year'. (sales)
And that would be from the cost of them and the fact you can still watch standard VR/360 content with them. Now compare that to AR/MR glasses that are going to be near or over $1k and you can see where I'm going with that. But these things are suppose to be a self-contained computer and will add to the cost.
But I don't think they will be more than a rift or Vive. Generally just under $500 because it's not that great of a computer. Just a narrow purposed set of chips that does not have so much energy expelled in servicing things that are not going to be used like a PC does.

We have all herd of others that are expected to enter the AR/MR glasses market from $400 - $800 but that is a estimate from folks who never made anything before and will soon find the cost of production is higher than they think and may bring the end cost to or over $1k. But they get a lot of attention and followers for saying it now. Need I remind anyone that the Rift was stated to come in at $300 - $400.
They produced the DK1 (without profit for them or retailers) for $230.

Just adding some perspective to it all.

This is why MR wont be a globally-adopted abbreviation, its just too confusing, its use for all sort of things Medical Records, Market Research, Merged Reality, Mixed Reality and of course Mister (Mr)

Just my opinion, nothing else

Lol.. If it wont catch it wont be because of that

http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/AR

And should i add Cloud?

If mixed reality will become a global term then people will use MR. If it wont then people wont use it.
Simple as that, same like anything else.

Not sure how Cloud is relevant, just 2 meanings really

The difference with VR is most people know what VR stands for already..I looked at all those VR acronyms and I haven't heard of 99% of them.

Lets wait and see, should be interesting how it all plays out

Just for the fun of it as none of us holds a crystal ball as alcy mentioned before..
This is why even when i have a favorite i still diversify..

Cloud-even with one meaning, no one imagined it will be a globally-adopted term for something completely different.. Confusing again
VR-was not known to 99.9 % of the people 2years ago.

Imo perception is the key.
So there is a chance for mr xr tr ai ar etc.
All depends on giants pushing it and media/consumers embracing it.
Most people are not aware of most acronyms and when something new is big enough they embrace it /give it a new meaning but cant ignore it.

The question is, when
Augmented Reality
Mixed Reality
Artificial intelligence
Virtual reality
Internet of things

Etc...
becomes big enough, do you call it the full name or make it shorter?

 

[Elad n]

I think the big question is what kind of a domainer are you..

Some like to play it safe and wait till something happens - sometimes they are late and sometimes their pockets are big enough so they prefer it like that.
others try to forecast the future and can be burned with a lot of junk regs or win the jackpot.

As long as you do the research its ok imo. Each with his own.
I just hope we will all meet up one day and drink for that with a fat bank account

This sums it all up.

Invest before a hype / mainstream awareness and you can reg some decent handregs. (high risk / high reward)

Invest after a term is mainstream like VR and you have to pay big bucks to get your hand on some premium names.

Example: I have regd the domain PokerMR in king in 2015-12-02 for 10 euro. Yes it takes a lot of risk to reg this kind of domains but i don't have a budget of 10's of thousants of euro's when the term is going mainstream.

No problem, we will have to wait and see...the joys of domaining

This is me i like to gamble on a term but in the end it has been fun anyway and the money we invest brings an enjoyment with it too. Where else would i be chatting with people from all around the world

I have never been into the MR abbreviation.

I work with text and language and to me it just hurts my eyes because it automatically reads like "mister". This will never change.

Just because MR sounds alright when spoken out loud in a conversation doesn't mean it will work as text. For that "mixed reality" works much better for my eyes and ears.

Yes, it's longer. But I think to an end user readability is more important than having a confusing but short name.

I mean, there must already by thousands of domains out there using MR to mean "mister".

Quick question?

LinqMR.com

Mixed Reality company using the abbreviation at the end seperates the confusion of "mister" association in my eyes.

Remember, as cordoba made clear to me lots of companies like to brand by using acronyms at the end of what they want to be their brand.

Microsoft abbreviates it to MR

Magic Leap abbreviates it to MR

Media have been abbreviating it to MR

Personally if there was as big an issue with the abbreviation as some people are making out, these not so small companies would have worked it put by now and dropped the MR abbreviation long ago.

Even wikpedia abbreviates it (MR)

Obviously 100% agree there is a long way to go, but to me domaining is about trying to forcast trends. And to me the trend is that the tech industry is accepting the MR abbreviation for mixed reality.

The question is do all these techs tend to have an abbreviation because in my view they all do.

I have not many domains with (MR) in front of keywords because I share the same concerns as most of you. But having it at the end of a keyword works as far as my eyes and english schooling is concerned.

Yes. MR at the end is much better.

But it only makes sense in some cases, for example company names?

For example I have MixedRealityAds. It is logical, looks good and sounds good.

MRads reads like "Mister ads" to me. O "M-rads" (whatever that is)

AdsMR just doesn't work at all in my ears.


And the fact that Wikipedia uses something is of less importance to me. They are an encyclopedia not a commercial business. They don't care about what sounds good or not.

Same with holo i have holotoys.com looks so much better than toysholo.com some work some don't.

I do own Ads MR (.com) lol but I do agree with part of what you are saying about that particular name with the "s" on the end.

I also own Advertising MR (.com) which I think is a better example.

I think Advertising MR (.com) works as a better example, and to me it works in the same way as Advertising AR or Advertising VR does on the eyes.

Ok get your point about wikpedia.

Lets go back to Microsoft

In their recent developer release of the Hololens they released a URL for developers to sign up.

They could have called it #whatismixedreality

But instead they called it #whatismr

?

They had the choice for their signup url, and they chose an abbreviation over a longtail.

We have to remember we are effectively selling url's for companies to brand themselves or the service they offer.

Longtail mixed reality domains are exact match so I have no problem recognising that they will hold value.

But there is a reason lots of companies are currently going for the VR acronyn over the longtail version for their branding name/url
