What is the future of Holo Lens, I had asked this question to myself before going blindly investing into it & the Answer I always thought to myself was it is the future of Computers, This is How the future of Computing would be.

With that in mind I bought from HoloComputer, Disks, Drives, Ram, Rom, Cd, Cafe, imaging, Beam & a bunch others From another passionate person like me who believed in this vision after the Star Wars back in 2002-2004 timeframe.

......................

For all the non believers here, my doors are always open to buy good Holo domains so don't get disheartened with the VR rush

Nice names.

I don't think there are none believers here. Hololens once they sort out the FOV and weight issues will be a top piece of kit.

The only downside to what microsoft is doing is they are pushing their "mixed reality" vision harder than they are their holo future.

As said before brandability wise holo is a great keyword. But technology wise we are entering a stage over the next couple of years of mixed reality. True holograms are a little further off imo.

They have been trademarking some good "Holo Keyword" phrases which isn't really helping us as Holo domain holders.

I hope I am wrong because like you I invested a bit into the term "holo". But if microsoft are pushing the mixed reality keyword forward, with magic leap, google and likely Apple jumping into mixed reality it seems the term Holo will have quite a bit of competition in the short term.

Like I said I am a "Holo" keyword fan. I am just not a fan of the way Microsoft are using it that is all.

How much did you sell it for? I think I havs JapaneseHolo.com and a couple similar.

Anyway, with regards the HoloLens in Japan, I guess that means the first holo porn will be here by Christmas.

I sold it quite cheap.

The original offer he sent was for $400 but we concluded the deal for $200 ( long story don't ask lol).

I decided to cash out because I only paid reg fee less than a year ago and I own other better domains imo that still gives me cover in the niche.

As far as adult Holo content it depends which Christmas you mean lol? This year is very doubtful because this is still the developer edition but if any country can push the boundaries, I guess Japan or China could be the ones to do it

I hope for a quick influx as well though. I cannot remember off the top of my head what adult domains I have got but from memory I do have:

HoloP@rnstar (.com)
HoloP@rn@graphy (.com)

i personally think we are watching the groundwork being laid for microsoft to own the holographic industry.
it's basic marketing - be the first to market anything in that space and then you own it... holo is juuuust a bit premature at the moment - so what you are seeing is microsoft slowly planting seeds for us to all think of microsoft when we think of holo...
while all the other companies are out fighting for VR, there is NO real, clear cut leader in this space. it's a muddles mess - i liken this to the drone industry...microsoft, however, is doing a fantastic job becoming the first thought we all have when it comes to holograms... they're actually brilliant in how they have gone about this really.

every aspect of this technology is getting cheaper by the day though, from camera's to bandwidth.

i have begun receiving inquiries on the regular now and am very much looking forward to the future.
Best of luck everybody!

Are you a little disappointed on how they are marketing the Hololens though ?

You know I invested into Holo because I thought they were going to go all in on the holo keyword.

But everything they say now refers to mixed reality.

It seems they are doing more to promote the mixed reality keyword than they are the holo keyword.

 

[FUTRS]

not at all.. Holo IS mixed reality, there's nothing wrong with mentioning it - it is what it is... and Holo is significantly a better term to market than mixed reality or MR.. not even close
i also don't think they are going to go ALL out on holo just yet because they know the price is too high

100% agree with your statement.

I think patience is the key with the term Holo.

Not going to lie I am invested into Holo & Mixed Reality so would love for both of them to do well.

But I have always loved the word "Holo" and have always maintained the fact that brandability wise it is a winner

I hope you are right and Microsoft does do the term the justice it deserves.

Future have a place for both.
Would be stupid to disregard any of them.

MR is the most disruptive tech we have ever encountered, more then tv and smartphones and many others
And holo is a super brandable term that will work well as well.

 

[FUTRS]

MR is the most disruptive tech we have ever encountered

sorry, but this is just not true on any level
.. while very COOL... NOT that disruptive... especially in comparison to 'true disruptive' technologies like autonomous vehicles, robotics AND 3d printing. VR/MR can't hold a candle to those industries.

Not talking about coolness. Its gonna make tons of stuff vanish in thin air.

Totally Disruptive in so many levels.

 

[FUTRS]

this is more the 'evolution' of certain industries as opposed to 'disruptive'

btw.. the "internet" by FAR is the most disruptive technology you have ever encountered haha
.. and this isn't anywhere in the realm of that either

.. but no sense in arguing about it

renew or drop?

Drop. Better off sticking to VR

Microsoft... That is why they have changed their marketing approach to mixed reality.

not sure where you are seeing a change in marketing approach.
i see mixed reality being mentioned, as it should, but a change?

you could very well be right, i may not have seen what you have seen, which is why i am asking...
can you please point out some examples of Microsoft changing gears.

.. and not some blog or review site - but microsoft themselves.. is there any new product line that is named after mixed reality??.. have they changed the marketing approach multiple times?

multiple times?

First two links I have looked at on Microsofts website feature mixed reality as pretty much the tag line.

There is lots of their promotional material being changed to say mixed reality.

Yes they mention the word holographic as well which is good.

Even today Alex Kipman was talking about a mixed reality journey when talking about introducing the Hololens to Japan.

Like I said, not trying to stir anything. Just reporting the trend I am seeing.

I hope I am wrong

Take the new Fragments Game for the Hololens for an example.

They mention "MR crime scene concept"

Developed for mixed reality.

no, i agree.. not trying to stir anything up at all.. nothing wrong with healthy conversation.

but it is exactly what i thought and these examples you are giving are definitely not a change in approach in marketing at all - in any way... All they are doing is educating and explaining... you can't ask 'what's holoens' and say, 'well.. it's holo' (haha).. it's new to people so they are simply explaining what that is.

... take the marketing of 'cloud computing' for example... most people STILL don't what that is (seriously) but when explaining what it is, it will do so by mentioning other technologies and software..etc.. that make up cloud computing ... BUT... it's STILL 'cloud computing'. Just because they use other terminology to describe the tech - doesn't mean they are marketing that way

for an example of what i mean, check out - Sales Force
or IBM cloud services

i don't see any harm in what microsoft is doing by using the proper terms in explaining what they are trying to accomplish and i certainly do not see this is a new approach to market 'hololens'...
have you seen their twitter page?.. there's like five mentions of 'mixed reality' since June - maybe it was six

personally, i don't think a huge marketing opportunity exists in something like 'mixed reality' - the TERM itself, i mean (not the technology) ... it's clunky in marketing terms

 

[FUTRS]

that fragments game looks very cool.. no doubt... but you can pick any number of games for any console and say the same thing - but this doesn't mean a change in their marketing approach

.. by the way.. the page you sent me to was built on a "microsoft.com/HOLOLENS/...etc" page

 

[Elad n]

Just 5 hours ago lol... Both will work, and from a marketer perspective, MR is a genious marketing term for the masses but as always time will tell.
I do think a conversation like this should move to the other vr ar mr Holo thread lol

I agree with what you are saying

But my concern was not just with Microsoft.

Rony Abovitz talks passionately about Mixed Reality and says that is what Magic Leap is.

Robert Scoble who interviews many tech insiders is crazy about the keyword mixed reality.

Microsoft have distanced themselves from AR and have corrected interviewers who have referred to them as AR by saying we are MR.

CastAR who funnily enough have AR in their name have changed their approach to MR.

With all these companies potentially pushing the mixed reality keyword I just get slightly worried that Microsoft have jumped on the bandwagon as well not to be left out. People are going to be looking for content. If the public are being spoon fed that the content is called "Mixed Reality" then that could be what people start looking for.

My main concern is it is looking like potentially 5 big companies pushing mixed reality when Microsoft is the only company that has any affiliation to the "holo" keyword.

Anyway like I said I hope for all our sakes I am 100% wrong.

Obviously best case scenario for me would be to make money off of both Holo and Mixed Reality so fingers crossed for all of us
