The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
Thing is though mate, my research says the tech has always deemed ‘Augmented Reality’ for the most part. The big push of the term ‘Mixed Reality’ seems to be coming from Microsoft, which isn’t a bad thing.

I hope the same push happens with 'Merged' from a major corporation.

But yeah, I’ve searched articles dated 1999-2005, nothing on Mixed Reality, bits and pieces on Augmented Reality and loads of Virtual Reality. It was only around 2010, I started finding 1 or 2 articles with the term ‘Mixed Reality’ and the boom seems to have happened in the past year or so.

I mean you only have to look at the ‘Mixed Reality’ thread at the start of the year on NamePros to see how people weren’t bothered about the term ‘Mixed Reality’ – It only started really taking off around Easter.

See how it goes, I’m starting to keep a closer eye on it anyway.

Yes mate cannot disagree with anything you said but you are looking at slightly the wrong angle.

Mixed Reality is a term that's become popular in the last year yes. But it's not just Microsoft who are going with the keyword. Lots of things happening behind the scene.

But my only little hint is mixed reality is not a word to replace AR. Mixed Reality is a newer word that replaced another word that described exactly the same tech.

MR has been around from 1994 (coined by milgram and kishino) its basically represented the spectrum between real and virtual (Augmented Reality +Augmented Virtuality)
If i recall correctly Canon was the first company that first called their system MRsystem and then rebranded to MReal (they are working on it behind the scenes mostly but lately working on selling the current version to organizations in the us)
Besides canon , we have Microsot and magic leap , both talking about Mixed Reality and MR and ive heard from tech reporters that their PR are calling back to journalists to fix their articles referibg to MR as AR .

MR is known lately as Holograms and in many articles being confused with AR but its the nature of this paradigm shift.

Both microsoft and magic leap are branding around MR because they use MR as the spectrum .
MR platfrom is a platform thst supports both AR &VR so they want to have it all.

Both companies got patents for using their devices for both AR &VR .

Lately many companies are moving towards MR , even comapnies like CastAR and ZappAR are now claiming to be MR comapnies and to deliver MR experiences , and dont forget tons of software comapnies anf major corporations that are working with Microsoft and using MR
I believe that anyone that is sure MR and Mixed reality wont be a global term for this tech and not even looking at MR as a future branding option for domains is being irrational lol , but hey they say that always about me so only future will tell ;)

A fellow domainer who I wont mention names incase he does not want to be mentioned put me onto a facebook post by fred davis .

The interesting part was a mention of xr short for extended reality as an all encompassing term allowing all forms of reality to come under one umbrella term thus creating less confusion to the general public.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_reality

Now i know that this is another new term xr and fred davis later explains how he also likes the terms mr and ar further down the post.

But i did find it interesting that a man within Silicon Valley and a knowledge of technology was coining this term xr as i have seen more traction relating to xr .

There have been a number of new domains relating to xr registered lately alot by me and others. So i am throwing this term out to np domainers as i believe in full disclosure of terms i like. Whether you argree or disagree one term for all new reality technology would make life easier for the general public as in the end these are the people we need to win over.

I have come across one or two others using the term XR, but I thought they were using it to mean 'extra reality' (another catch all term meaning the same thing).

They were using it as Extra reality &Extended reality.

But i think MR is taking over as VR+AR

These are several of the instances (mentioned above) where the term "XR" is popping up, and some of those fairly recently.

I'm not saying one way or the other whether I think it is a term that is going to catch on. Who knows at this point, there are so many terms being thrown around.

But, most of these examples are just stating that it's a catch-all term to encompass VR+AR+MR.

I have seen a few instances where people have used the term XR to mean mixed reality, but those were old articles and I definitely think that MIxed Reality is it's own thing, as has been pointed out in this thread and the main one, and MR will be used for it.

Anyway, if there is some redundancy, apologies in advance:

Thanks @capiche .

It sounds nice but Microsoft and magic leap will brand MR as a device that can do VR &AR .. Some kind of All in one MR device so im not sure another term is needed . .

Who knows.

Yeah, I agree. MR is the term for Mixed Reality, covering VR+AR.

Although many don't like to hear it I think it's an increasingly likely scenario that there will be more to the "Reality" market than just VR or AR.

It does seem as though we all have our differen't opinion's and that is a great thing to have in this thread.

I wish everyone the best of luck whichever terms they have decided to invest into. Personally I think there still could be some suprises along the way so I have tried to diversify my portfolio as much as I could based on both research I have done and also with helpful hints from other members of this forum :)

I don't think we will have to wait too long for this to play out.

2017 should be a big year for the VR, AR & MR terms and by the end of 2018 I expect all these terms to have at least been given a fair shot at mainstream adoption terminology.

Just for the record the most money I have personally invested into any niche is the VR niche. I have bought multiple domains for $x,xxx range! This is not something I have done in either the AR or MR niches.

Naa, Zuckerberg himself doesn't have to bother ofcourse. But for example if I was one of the (I assume hundreds of people) working om Mixed Reality it would enter my mind at some point that this technology might have really cool applications that will be worth alot of money. For exemple in the travel industry. So why not regg MixedRealityTravel? It's an $8 investment. Or the people working on WebVR....I picked up 10 golden names in that niche a coupple of months ago. And it was really obvious ones too, like WebVRads, WebVRmarketing. And they have been working on that tech for 2 years already. It's just weird to me that people don't see opportunities.

Well sometimes otherwise intelligent people miss the obvious, even when, in a sense, it's staring them in the face. I get that feeling a lot myself when I'm on this forum.

Yes, MixedRealityTravel.com seems an obvious one for a person (one of hundreds) working on mixed reality. But why stop there? I mean you yourself have spent a pretty penny on hand regging lots and lots of future tech domains, and when you count in renewals, that's a sizeable investment with no guaranteed return. I mean, I'm sure you will make a nice profit if mixed reality does become huge (and the term for it sticks), but then these guys are going to become rich if mixed reality takes off no matter. The value of a longtail domain name such as 'MixedRealityTravel' isn't even obvious to the non future tech domainers on this forum, let alone somebody who hasn't a clue about domains and their value. You may as well say, well if you're so certain about the future of mixed reality, why aren't you investing in start up companies, or purchasing shares in Microsoft etc? You can buy a share in Microsoft for $58. Unlike a domain name, you can go back online and sell your share within 30 seconds.

I must admit, I did ask your question when the term 'merged reality' first came up earlier this year and I was able to handreg a few premium and obvious ones. Such companies as Intel could even coin a term for a new tech (or an existing tech) simply for the purposes of cleaning up with the premium domains. You can imagine the guy at Intel whose job it was to create the marketing term for their new tech actually checking to see if the premium domains were still unregistered. 'Hey, this new fangled tech we're about to announce is really just a version of mixed reality, but those buggers at namespro have already regged the good ones there, so I'll call it 'merged reality' and register 'mergedrealitycasino' etc before I announce it even to the board of Intel, hehe'.

Not the right place to mention this but "merged reality" is not the same as "mixed reality"

If anything it's got more in common with Virtual Reality.

Merged Reality is more to do with bringing real objects into a virtual world.

Mixed Reality is more to do with bringing digitalized contentent into the real world that you can interact with.

Intel will continue to try and create a new reality. It does have different compounds to the other tech's in question.
