Yes, I think XRReality grabbed all the non-hyphenated premiums.

Nice names though and with the traction xr seems to be getting worth keeping for a few years to see what happens. I have XR-P**n.com

Yes, as I said recently, I am bit worried about things. The market research firm Gartners says 2-5 years to mainstream but I've read several articles recently claiming that most VR industry insiders think that is very optimistic.

TBH, my hope now is that this isn't another 'cycle', but that VR simply is profitable enough and can maintain the current interest long enough for the investment to continue to enable the required sizeable improvements in tech over the next 10 years. In other words, I fear VR will go the same way as 3D TV or the last VR hype in the 90s and we might have to wait another 20 years for it to take off.

I think AR (or MR) will completely blindside VR in the coming years to the extent that people wont even talk about VR, just as the internet blindsided the first VR hype in the 90's. Remember that even the language to describe the internet was initially based on the hopes for virtual reality? (the internet became the 'virtual' world instead of in VR headsets).

I picked up 'holograificas' in KING yesterday. If you type it into Google you get nearly 3 million results. However I'm not sure it makes sense in the singular (as it's normally used as a plural adjective in Spanish). Maybe a Spanish speaker could tell me if it has any worth?

 

[Winfluence]

Yes, now they include AR and MR with the VR and call it XR.
Since this was suppose to be a way for Soft dev's to meet up with hard dev's,
Imagine the confusion when you are not sure if the person you are talking to is AR only and you dev VR ???
Well, I guess it's all XR just the same only different !
Just some contrast.

Yes. It was a miracle that I was able to hand reg XRDevelopers - com and XRJobs - com so late. The it should have been a dev that thought about regging them first, but I'm not complaining.

It wasn't late. Plenty of names are still available..
Its a longshot either way.

No. It was late for the term Developers, because developers are the only ones using the term right now. The term is only critical to developers and the events and services that cater to them, so of course someone should have grabbed that name months ago. It could be that I happened to register it right after it dropped.

I read an article somewhere that said "Is this the year that AR will kill VR?"....And a reader commented: "Is this the year the hamburger will kill the chicken sandwich?"....Couldn't agree more. It's not a zero sum game and the two technologies are not the same thing. So far AR is mostly about puking rainbows and wearing dog ears on Snapchat.

AR will have alot of great uses in the future, but so will VR. Just different.

AR might very well be bigger in terms of the money involved with Apple pushing it. But that doesn't mean that VR will go away.

AR may well go on to be bigger, as said a few weeks ago on here AR is probably even bigger than VR already, everyone uses it through SnapChat and what not.

AR’s problem is do people know (or care) that its AR? How many people who use SnapChat know this tech:-

Is AR? Very few.

How many say "Let's take an Augmented Reality photo on SnapChat"? Zero. So with that are AR domain names required?

 

[VRdommy]

WOW... quite a wide range of hope and discontent for keywords.

My advise is not to judge any of them till products are flying off the shelf.
Something that will happen over the 8 months to come.
There have not been enough devices in consumer hands to entice enough dev's to move forward...
...and that is what will change.

And...
I don't know how anyone can think it is even possible for one format to kill off another short of 8 years.
Everything will grow, some at different rates changing as compelling content for each changes over time.
Popularity will be a matter of function and up to the dev's to exploit.

 

[cordoba]

I didn't mean so much that AR and mixed reality will kill off VR, just that it might dwarf it to the extent that public interest and business investment, and even the language we develop for the 'virtual' is, dominated by AR.

There's been a couple of negative VR articles at a future technology site I follow today. The guy who writes it is not really a VR expert so I would take it with some scepticism but he makes some interesting points :

https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2017/...or-three-of-improvement-to-go-mainstream.html

Yeah, I have the same concern. I have some good AR names as well so I wouldn't really be worried if AR leaps ahead of VR, but I'm not sure if the names will have so much value for end users as VR names.

AR glasses will replace your phone. And there is a possibility that it may also replace everything else that has a screen,because why would you pay 2k for a wide screen TV when you could just project an AR one on the wall. Why buy a laptop when your AR glasses are powerful enough for all of your computing needs?

Ads for discounts everywhere you walk. Glance at a QR code and there is an assistant to help you find the right product in a store. Watch TV, chat, browse, and game at the same time while sitting on the toilet.

VR will be something you use for a limited time in a particular place, for a particular reason.

AR will be something you use everywhere, for every reason at anytime.

VR will be big (especially in gaming, simulations and entertainment), but AR will be I an indispensable, critical part of our lives as necessary as the internet - the next computing medium.
