Most consumers won't understand XP beyond Windows XP, because it was the most popular OS for what? Nearly a decade...?

I kinda agree it will be a hard standard to create because there is no one entity controlling it's use.
But never underestimate it if it grows in number of users, the future advertisements, or the forming of a organization.

But not really a keyword I'm jumping on just yet. But I will be watching it now.
It does seem to have possibilities for particular uses.
And it looks like @Manusakos has some broad uses for his. I guess I might have taken the bait on 2 of those.

Intel Project ALLOY has been killed off. Permanently.

http://deathrattlesports.com/intels-project-alloy-vr-headset-is-dead/58428

If anyone remembers, this thread started at the announcement of 'merged reality' and 'Intel alloy'.

Edit: Taking a real guess at the reasons that would lead up to this...
1 - many competitors in the space and coming.
2 - not many were joining the platform for development. Most went to Qualcomm
after all they really did not want to sell the HMD, just created a open platform for others to do it and is the same as Microsoft did for WMR. But without takers, they were poised to go it alone and still found no takers.

The cost of hardware development is one thing, but to have to do a additional dev for a software platform on your own is a very big feat as MagicLeap is or will find out, unless they opt-in to the WMR standard as Lenovo did for a AR only device. It runs the cost up on your product to outprice yourself compared to your competitors.

So the 'merged reality' name is pretty much dead? I don't think anyone else was pushing that other than Intel. I only had a handful, but some were o.k. like MergedRealityVR.com

Lucky for me I did not go that route at all. Well, maybe sort-of. MRSmartGoggles But was intended as mixed but with the idea that merged also fit.
But it does go to show that with any term, you should proceed a inch at a time. Buying a few each progression of the term. Which has been my method for the last 8 years now.
But you win some and loose some. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

But I still would not count it completely out. If you have some really strong ones like @kingslayer has at least one of them, I would hold them a while for the wait-n-see. Could have a new meaning to someone else.

Yea, after posting, I realized @xr reality had posted the news the day before. Don't know how I missed that.

Real reason is Intel could not afford the .com from me lol.

Nah all serious, I gave my views what i thought of this news the other day. I did pay a lot of money for ‘Merged Reality’ i didn’t do it because of Intel, sure their first conference gave me that push to go all out and get it because i thought 'it's happening', but I registered ‘Merging Reality’ and ‘Merging Realities’ way before Intel even thought about ‘Merged Reality’ i did it because the term makes sense and i honestly believe will go on to mean something when the VR/AR/IoT/Ai markets grow.

Intel dropping it I see as a positive, in 1 year we’ve had 2 multi-billion$ companies using the term ‘Merged Reality’ (Intel/Ericsson) and for different reasons, 1 is still promoting the term (Ericsson) how i want and believe ‘Merged Reality’ should be promoted (similar to XR).

If 2 major companies have done that in a year (including some smaller companies) that says to me, there’s something in the term and more will go on to use the term 'Merged Reality' in the future, especially now Intel have dropped its use of it.

If Intel carried on promoting it how they did (a marketing term) and just basically as Mixed Reality, it was going to go nowhere and i had 1 major end-user and that was them, now that’s gone it opens up new possibilities and still gives ‘Merged Reality’ that chance to progress how i hope/think that it should.

OK, so I will make a important note here...
What they did was drop the 'Alloy Platform'. A 'Open Hardware Development Platform'
Not the concept of merged reality. They still do the R&D to support that.
Which is why I say hold the best, wait-n-see. No Harm.

They've removed the section for 'Merged Reality' off their website, that says to me they are no longer behind the term, at least to the extent they was (promoting it at conferences etc).

Que Sera either way though, I'm still happy with my investment, I’m quite a calculated person by nature (Capricorn trait so I’m told) and always weigh each scenario up before i do something (best and worst case/pros and cons) and weighed this scenario up last year before i bought the domain (a major company like Intel no longer behind it) and still saw it as a good investment.

Whilst i still believe/hope the term 'Merged Reality' will still go on to have meaning, worst case is Merged Reality’ is still a perfect name for a company to call themselves in the VR/AR space or even other industries.

So the domain i have will or at least i hope (never know for sure) still go on to have demand.

LOL... I have a bunch more I would like to say but I think I will leave it alone for now.
I'm sure we will have some realization of many terms over the next year or two.
And probably some new ones to contend with.

But I am wondering if anyone has tried the new Chrome VR capable Browser ?

Things are looking good for a xmas push for all new media.

VR is the next problem to solve... Says Intel ...

http://gearsofbiz.com/intel-may-tie-future-core-cpus-to-the-vr-trend-with-dedicated-features/83195
You can get a idea of the future architecture will have more cores
and some 'dedicated' to VR- # crunching & graphics.
Kinda funny as I seen the early muti- cpu plans back in the 90's but I never thought they would put them in the same package then (think Pentium Pro dual, then core-duo). It's the only way to achieve the speeds using a parallel operations providing true multi tasking. Gonna be cool to watch the next gen cpu's in action.
Any major disappointments here could set 'new VR/AR things' back a year.
But it will be the cost of these monsters that will be holding things back a bit for a while.

No more VR screen door ? LG has the solution ?

http://deathrattlesports.com/lg-fil...-that-eliminates-the-screen-door-effect/63313

The premise of this patent is simple. You create a refractor(sub screen)/defuser that the pixels are displayed on and make them appear a bit larger than they are, eliminating the space between the pixels.
But it does not necessarily do anything for the sharpness of the image. Still you have to address the number of pixels 'if there are not enough'.
But hey, sounds like progress.
It's a short term stop gap to some larger problems like bandwidth and speed caused from higher resolutions.

Touch/AR dawt com

Thoughts?

Personally, I like VR/AR domains that have a possible tie-in to haptics, which I think is going to be a natural fit for the field... GL with your name!

I am and have been quite a big believer in haptics going forward for new media.
Personally I don't like the keyword 'haptic(s)' for actual use/need.

Haptics will be used but why does anyone need to have a domain name with it ,
unless you make 'haptic only' hardware.
And even those are more likely to use a more conceptual name.

I'm sure there will be a few lucky hits with it. Just not enough to convince me to even hold a few.
But I do hope everyone that holds'm can sell'm with that keyword.

But for your name... I think it is generally to narrowly focused, but we never really know now do we.
Until it sells. But I would caution the quantity reg's in a narrow niche.
We all take some wild cards here and there.

agree with you on the haptics part... but do like names that "touch" on the concept ;) but those are very limited.

if i did target Haptic names they would be brandables like hapticon, hapticast, hapticore etc. just play with the c at the end. just my 2 cents.

I think the best representation in the market for haptics is "4D". JMHO

I agree that the "Haptic(s)" term itself is probably too "inside baseball" to become a common kw... I think words like touch/sense/feel etc. will probably be used for branding purposes instead... (This said, I'm still holding a small collection of nice "haptic" names, just in case... ;))
