You are not going to get a expansion of the base for niche names as long as this keeps happening...

Virtual Desktop dev rewrites Oculus Quest’s wireless PC VR feature
I am only pointing to this story for it's light relevance, and it is interesting, but more as a sample as to where we are in VR avatar's and how far we have yet to go. But, as-is, this is usable and viable.

A lesson in both domain sales and Trademark

https://domaingang.com/featured/bc30-com-udrp-what-not-to-do-when-negotiating-a-domain-sale/

There are more 'don't do's' to a sale than tips for selling.
But have a solid reason for everything you do without changing your mind might just be a new one.
I have always advised that in any negotiation, the person you are talking with could be a far-out trademark holder so always be on your toes and follow through with what you know you have to do.

Valve Index Back-In Stock
https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/4/2...dset-monday-price-availability-half-life-alyx

While I have been waiting myself, I will have to wait till they reconfigure the pricing without HalfLife.
I am fairly sure that the complete set-up with controllers and lighthouse will be under $700 when they do.
It's a lot of money and I am in no hurry to spend it.
Probably will not happen till sales slow. And those sales are amazing.

BTW...
Just so someone says it. COVID-19 is going to affect names as with everything else.
The reason I say that is that any start-up will have the same supply chain disruptions as well as problems holding organizational meetings.
This is a much larger problem for the small guys starting up more than the big ones but it's the small guys that give us the volume, not necessarily the high dollar.. This could tear them apart before they even get started.
Something to add to your thoughts anyway. Could be a dry summer and I was looking forward to a very nice set of sales numbers this year. Mainly from the small start-ups.
Fingers crossed !

There was one plus I could think of with the COVID-19 outbreak in terms of VR/AR,
but I did not think I would see it suggested so soon....

I can see this building out for enterprise quite quickly anyway since it obviously solves a problem..

A interesting POV on the above from WIRED

And a little more...
Take it where you can get it I guess.

You're probably aware of the VR Group in New Zealand. If they were ever to expand abroad, they'd probably want the .com.

The go-to use for VRhotels would be immersive hotel tours, of course. Sometimes I ponder whether I should develop a name or two. VRhotels seems like one that would be worth developing. You could team up with a pro and have him build the site in a manner whereby hotels could submit their content to your database/directory. ...while you handle the business development. And/or you could travel a bit and stay in some nice hotels for free while you and your partners gather content on-site. I think it would be a neat project.

Probably not the answer you were expecting, but those are my thoughts.

Yes, but VR is being used as well for vacation rentals, so more interested in VirtualHotels use cases

When I think of "Virtual ..." I think of a service, where that same service can be accessed virtually. You go to the doctor for health screenings and such. So, a Virtual Doctor would do what doctors do, only virtually. A Virtual Classroom would be a means whereby a student can enter a classroom and do what they do in a classroom, only virtually. They would learn virtually.

By that reasoning, if one were to visit a Virtual Hotel, they would want to sleep in it. Put on an HMD to immerse yourself in a hotel room, and sleep? Surely there is no market for this.

I would go to a virtual haunted house, perhaps ...to get scared just as I would at a real haunted house. Or, I would go to a virtual zoo ...to see animals as I would at a real zoo. I wouldn't go to a virtual hotel to sleep.

For the purpose that we're actually alluding to (hotel tours), I think VRHotels is stronger. Use VR to view Hotels.

Long and drawn out answer. And maybe some will disagree. But I think Virtual Hotels isn't as strong and VRHotels. If I were to develop one of the names, I'd develop VRHotels.

Cheers.
I was thinking virtual hotels would be better, also can be used for virtual tours and activities but also bigger keyword and very relevant these days. But just an opinion

While I don't see any broad need, I would say Virtual name work better here because they are
'all encompassing' no matter the format.

This 'gaze tracking' is a big deal for the tech side of our stuff.

It looks like this guy Jim Cherry did this all himself.

@VRdommy, I think you may be right that "gaze tracking" could become a pretty big deal... I was thinking along the same lines a few years ago and decided to take a punt on a few "gaze" related names - In time, we'll see if this bet pays off:

Coms -

GazeTrack
GazeGame(s)
GazeApps
GazeLink
GazeAds, etc...

If you look broadly, you will find the best ideas come from just a few. Most often they lack the resources to
'take it all the way' and sell out or fail.
Not many have the determination to get that far.

Well, you know me... LOL
I don't see a broad name grab for this tech that will be a built-in expectation in 4 years.
Get it while you can in my opinion.
Good hearing from ya again ! Stick around, I know you have good opinions to offer.
And I'd like to hear them !

A creative name, AVATOUR (from a few of the Nokia folks)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/charliefink/2020/03/25/avatour-brings-reality-to-virtual-reality/

Reminds me of my TeleporterTour(s) which I also have in Teleporter.Tours
But I say that for those of you creative enough for names and can match that with a .Tours
Branding may be critical for this segment.
