Virtual reality and augmented reality is the future of online casinos

There was a stir in online gambling industry a couple of years back which talks about Virtual Reality games. With advancements in technology, the Virtual and Augmented Reality gaming is taking off. The future of online casinos seems to be bright with the industry gaining a steady momentum. The number of bets from the VR and AR online casinos is all set to grow to £423 million as per few reports by the year 2021.

Virtual Reality – The future of online casinos

Online gambling generates £3 billion annually in the UK as per the recent statistics. This figure is set to grow with the launch of more VR and AR online casinos. Online casinos go through constant evolution and growth. VR and AR online casinos have opened up a new spectrum of the base of players, thereby augmenting the annual growth in the industry by 10%. The inception of AR and VR will draw in more players and widen the horizons of the online gaming industry. People would be more comfortable playing from the comfort of their home instead of spending money to step out.

VR portals offer numerous benefits to the online gambling industry as far as marketing opportunities and customer experiences are concerned. VR transports the players to exciting locations without having to leave their home. Online and mobile casinos are drawing groups of players by enhancing their offerings. Few online casino game providers have started developing AR and VR-based casino games. This makes it easier to guess the future of online casinos.

With VR becoming the next big thing in the technology sector, the online gambling industry is getting quickly adapted to the major changes in the technology landscapes. It would not be wrong to expect big things from VR as it is bound to be the future of online casinos. Microgaming is leading the industry when it comes to VR gaming.

Pokemon Go created a stir in the mobile gaming industry. This fresh new take on gaming, a lot of developers are reviving their games to adapt to the latest trends in the industry. Pokemon Go makes use of augmented reality, which is an innovative technology that adds virtual components in a physical environment. Gaming developers can make use of real backdrops with the aid of this technology for interacting with the players through game characters. AR permits games to be played anywhere. The best thing is the experience offered is unique each time.

More and more developers in the online gambling industry are aware of the popularity of VR games. This has compelled them to adopt the technology in their offerings as well. Slot games can be made more engaging and advanced with the aid of augmented reality. At Spinzwin Casino one can have the real enjoyment of all online games in one place.

Microsoft is rolling out Hololens which can have a profound impact in the world of augmented reality. The headset being offered by them is much more advanced than what is being currently offered in the online gambling industry. Hololens can prove to be beneficial for casual games such as casino titles. Cutting edge developments are triggering massive growth in the VR and AR online casinos. This makes the future of online casinos quite evident. Infinity Augmented Reality Inc., in collaboration with Google, is set to change the way casino games are played online. Although there are challenges ahead, the future of online casinos seems to be bright.

Developers say augmented and mixed reality will be more popular than VR

That’s all great, but key question is will people call it ‘Augmented Reality’ or will they care? Millions loved PokemonGo, few know its Augmented Reality, millions use SnapChat, few know its Augmented Reality.

Augmented Reality is all over right now and millions use it, probably more so than VR yet Augmented Reality domaining is virtually non-existent and many people don’t even know what Augmented Reality is even though SnapChat selfies are all over people's Facebook and Twitter accounts, Augmented Reality to most people is just “an app for my phone”.

Mixed Reality domain market (if becomes a thing) is for tomorrow, but this has even more obstacles and that is most people and companies call this tech AR, even if MR does catch on, like AR are MR domains a necessity?

Do people say “i want some Mixed Reality glasses for Christmas” or will they be called Augmented Reality or even Virtual Reality?

Yes i partly share your vision.

I would recommend only quality keyword + MR or MR + keyword.

https://www.namepros.com/threads/mixed-reality-domains.900000/page-94#post-6236723

MRMove.com sold for $620 and MRPlay.com for $2288. This kind of keywords would be suited for mixed reality.

Yes people will add AR or MR when they search for specific content or a branded company. Just like the heavy search volume for VR+"red" keyword. People can search for only "red" but they add VR to get targeted content.

Yes, interesting question. A necessity comes with a NEED!

You got a NEED for names with AR MR then you use it.

In example- ARkit is becoming a huge phenomenon and makes people look for AR+something so companies would want to use AR in their names as its in their best interests.

Same with MR if as a specific tech/spectrum of technologies.

Some things work best in VR such as movies, live concerts and sports, games where you need to feel immersed and that require greater interaction with others, classrooms (history lessons, live/recorded lectures, etc.), tours (travel, real estate, etc.); basically anything where you need to feel completely immersed.

There is a branding issue, e.g. how do you let others know that your app is VR/AR ready? Not everyone has the marketing power of Nintendo (i.e. Pokemon Go).

https://www.forbes.com/sites/charliefink/2017/06/30/apple-ar-is-already-blowing-up/#43d5ae054016

Snir predicts the App Store is going to be flooded with AR Apps. "There is a use for AR in almost anything: games, entertainment, music, health, navigation. The potential is huge!"

They can use my ARappstore(.)com

 

[En]

They can use my ARappstore(.)com

I was just thinking about that, they will need to separate all AR apps from regular apps, and then sub-categories such as AR games, AR education, etc. The same with all VR apps.

Either way tho, if this happens, everyone will still know what AR is, since it will be labelled. Then when it comes to branding your promo website, you might use the VR/AR term or even MR/XR for Microsoft.

Thing is we are investing in domains though, even if the AR industry goes on to be 100 times bigger than the VR industry it doesn’t mean the AR domaining market will be worth more than the VR domaining market. As i said in my last reply, Augmented Reality is probably already bigger than Virtual Reality in terms of the amount of users who use AR on a daily basis compared to VR.

So if it’s bigger right now, why isn’t demand there (end-users) for AR domains like there is for VR domains?

These are the type questions people ask themselves before investing, don't get me wrong demand may be there for AR domains some point, but be cautious.

Also when you see domains like AR+Glasses in auction, which as been talked about on here recently (great domain on paper), don't bid like crazy if you really believe Mixed Reality is where it's at as chances are if AR+Glasses are thing then MR+Glasses won't be and vice-versa.

Do your research and if you truly believe in something only then go for it.

As i mentioned before, its all about the NEED!

AR is not big yet, MR is not existing yet (in consumer thoughts) , snapchat is not AR for domains till it will get the AR mark on it from consumers. Meaning if someone like Apple will continue to use ARkit, expect consumers to know what is AR and the ball starts rolling.

Gl anyways, im not gonna give advices here but to diversify.. Im in charge only for my regs

@KingslayerVR , It's OK, Nobody seems to want to count AR stuff as AR

and when it comes from 'SMARTGLASSES'... ... Then they want to call it MR.

Go figure ! Odds are stacked against it.

I realized 3 years ago that the AR term was not going to be as big as VR,
not even close as it applies to domain names anyway..
Stopped buying them then. But still it will have it's uses. And there will be 'some' nice sales.
Don't anyone forget that AugmentedReality.ORG sold for 12k before the Rift DK1 was out.
AR has been practiced in the real world years before VR
and now everyone's hope is on smartglasses... (see above)

So if you really want to get up on the best and most needed AR names, GOOD LUCK because most of them are true made-up brandables that are very hard to figure since they are made-up words.
I bought one myself for fashion/cosmetics/hairstyles....
mirrARmirrAR - but just pot luck if anyone would find a need but perhaps a want ?
But the generic platforms are not the same with AR as they are with VR.
Your not going to have as much luck selling AR names with a 'shotgun style buying pattern'.
Your overhead will be self defeating !

Edit:
I might add that when everyone's projections that stated AR was going to be far bigger than VR, they were including those things like POK'e Mon Go and the HUD on cars and special 2D apps on phones. Things most don't really associate with/as being AR.

I have no doubt that they eventually plan to use all of those trackers, but this is not a official announcement so we will have to wait and see what they actually launch with.

Yeah, mobile/smartphone industry is monstrous, probably the biggest tech industry in the world, yet mobile domaining industry is fairly non-existent, reason for that is everything is app-based and AR is all done through smartphones/tablets too so why are domains needed?

Way i see AR domains would be like buying Mobile+TV before the mobile boom and trying to convince yourself how people will all be watching TV on their mobiles, going on about how you can watch it anywhere you like, without the need for a television set and how the mobile TV industry is going to be worth billions, how much is Mobile+TV.com really worth though? Barely anything, same with other keywords like Mobile+p*rn, Mobile+betting etc.

I don’t use SnapChat personally and only saw it first time last week when my sister showed me it (i just stick to WattsApp) and first thing i said was “that’s Augmented Reality” and she went “what’s that?” lol.

People keep talking about AR and the future, but fact AR is already here and no one knows about it, these pictures are all over social media (celebrities Instagram's etc):-

Hmmm.. Mobile. 1087 sales not sure mobile is the right comparison.

I think we discussed it enough hahah..

Future will come soon and we will know better.

Yeah i was just looking on NameBio at mobile sales before you posted.

Majority of these Mobile+keyword sales was 10 years ago though (2007-09), when the smartphone boom happened, so probably to domain investors.

Be interesting to see how many of these domains are actually in use by companies.

Put it this way would you invest any more than reg fee in a Mobile+keyword domain? I know I personally wouldn’t because they aren’t needed.

I think mobile is the right comparison for AR as it's all done through mobile devices.

I agree with most of what you are saying but the hype period does create some decent sales and we will be approaching that with Apple not being too far away from announcing their new flagship phone.

I made a decent amount of money from mobile domains in the adult industry. We have to remember not everything goes on Namebio.

And if AR does push over to headset/glasses then why can't their be the same use cases that are applied to VR.

I have some interest in some of my AR names at the moment but mostly on the one's I wan't a bit more for.

I did sale AR multiplayer (.com) last week but only because it was a name I was going to let drop anyway.

Every trend got its ups and downs. You can compare it to the beginning of the mobile revolution.

Companies will use if they will have a need. I can see a future need for AR MR names but again , time will tell

As we say... The 'NEED FOR NAMES'.
A lot of things are BIG but don't always have a 'need for names'.
And if they do, not always so broadly. So often it really become a matter of 'WANT' not NEED.

I've been domaining more than the entire lifecycle of the smartphone and never played a mobile/cell name.
I do still have some .mobi's with very strong keywords. Got them after sunrise. No regrets on my few.
One big regret is plays on 'camera/cam' over the years and while I never played them before, I did not miss the boat early on with VR/360 cam/cameras. "The need will probably be the highest yet"...
...unless something new and better comes along. LOL

But even Facebook has cut-into and/or changed the need for names. Of course, that 2Bln user number includes folks that stopped using it years ago. Once a user, always a user. (not me).
But it will only take one screw-up on their part to start a mass exodus to other up and coming platforms.
Hard to put a number on the amount of B2C domains lost to Facebook.

Domain Names are a handy way to offer info on an app or serivce, not everyone wants to load up their phone with apps. If they can get some detailed information via a website it is a bonus, imo
