debate AR Vs. VR - The gloves are off!

[Keith]

Ar will be bigger than Vr, look it up!

It's not what you know, it's what the masses know. AR as it pertains to domains and branding isn't going to happen.

Virtual reality isn't even going to really hit the masses for a decade, or more, or never. The dollar amount of a specific niche industry doesn't equate to domains sold in that niche. It's an educated gamble at best for these types of investments. 99% of domains in this thread and similar threads are flushed money.

Careful kids!

Yup, all the big companies which were originally quoting AR are now referring to themselves as MR in all the reputable sources.

MR doesn't quite have that same ring to it as VR.

VR is a tech that will stay regardless of future tech emergence.

But MR is an evolving next step beyond VR. Devices being designed such as Hololens & Magic Leap are a totally differen't tech from VR and they will want their products/content to be distinguished from VR.

Microsoft are branding around both "holo" & "mr" because they want to put their product in a category that they will promote as being a step further than virtual reality.

It will be content that is in and can interact within "your" reality.

It is the headset companies themselves and tech industries that are pushing the MR keyword, they have got the option to brand around VR, but instead have chosen the buzzword that describes their technology and are insistent that they want it to be referred to as specifically "MR".

I am not a "MR" pusher, I have mostly VR names, a fair few "holo" domains, a few "AR" & "MR".

A few members of this forum have really dug deep in their research, contacted relevant companies for even an insider perspective and it all points to "MR" being the keyword of choice. Microsoft & Magic Leap themselves have insisted that they don't wan't to be associated with AR, MR is the term that defines what they are aiming for.

You seem as convinced as the new registries pushing new gtlds. It's the future apparently. While that might be the case, we should focus on tried and tested. VR has been around for 25 years in some form or another. It has clearly stood the test of time so far.

I wouldn't so quick to jump on anything that the big players are pushing for the moment. The scene is currently a battlefield of terminology. Of course I'm willing to eat my words should MR domains start flying off the shelves to end users. My gut says it's probably not going to happen. Forget Microsoft. Don't follow just one company. Follow what most of companies going with and that's VR. My gut feeling is MR isn't as catchy as VR and will not take off for domain names.

Of course you may totally disagree with me and I might be totally wrong.

Time will tell.

It is not just Microsoft, I used them as my example, but yes only time will tell.

I agree VR is a winner.

But VR is not holograms neither is it augmented or mixed reality. Both of these are differen't techs and will be branded seperately from VR.

But you are right, VR is the safest place to invest at the moment.

I am just stating that this thread is AR vs VR, but evidence is pointing more to VR vs MR.

@LucidDomains , while VR is a proven fact, should we really focus on whats be tried and tested? Isn't domaining in the field of emerging techs is about innovation, reaearch, gut and looking it the future making some bets on what you have found? I think it is.
MR might or might not work (for domains/as a term) but what we do is not different then the first guys that bought one word domains or VR/Cloud/pot domains..
Just in our case we will know if its working or not much faster then the other terms because VR is pushing it all into mainstream.

Cheers and Goodluck to everyone.

Not sure why a problem, both are different ....... A.R ......extra info in the real world, V.R another kind of world. Apples and Oranges still taste good in a fruit punch

Yea well, the new arguement is about MR

I can't keep up

AR, MR what? It's VR lol.

And even then the masses don't know.

 

[VRdommy]

While I have had a hard time explaining the difference of VR / AR / MR / HOLO to the masses
Here I found someone who explains it better than I have made words for. .... yea... What He Said
Hope that someone gets the idea that these are NOT competing formats.
But we all have spending limits. You buy the strongest interest you can afford that benefits your lifestyle.

Vr is not Ar ........ Ar is a layer on existing reality , Vr is another reality all together
