Intel Project Alloy - A Must Read

The pace of change with new VR product designs is about to increase exponentially.
And while this is one thing to move that along, it's not the only thing.

New term by Magic Leaps CEO 'Spatial Computing'

https://www.recode.net/2018/1/25/16933294/magic-leap-ceo-rony-abovitz-code-media

He's been using that on a date off in interviews. Not a new term in general though... As you may already know..

More on VR Training and Education...
https://www.pcmag.com/article/358576/why-a-rockstar-games-founder-is-all-in-on-safety-focused-vr
It could be that enterprise use of training with VR outsells gaming for a short time.
One might come to that conclusion after reading that.
Not truly believing that, I think it at least shows it's up there in top considerations of volume sales.
Does it really matter which one sells more if both aspects do very well ?

Make your own Virtual Tour...
https://www.3dvista.com/en/products/virtualtour
I have noticed a large number of end use sites not using VR, but 3D in branding.
But of course, I have been watching for it . And I am seeing it.
This co did start out in '99 with panoramic photography but has not changed their name.
As I have mentioned... 3D is fairly universal in VR/AR/MR/Virtual media.
And consumers already have a grip on it.

And still, they quest for the 'real' Holodeck...
https://uploadvr.com/light-field-lab-raises-7-million-prototype/
While a actual Holodeck may be elusive to reality in the near term, the fact that it is a desired and understood term keeps the term in play for now. With no less than 6 fair sized start-ups branding with the term globally, we also have Nvidia's project holodeck.

PlayStation VR Cinematic Mode & 3D BluRay Movies
https://www.androidcentral.com/how-get-best-3d-blu-ray-experience-playstation-vr
I have always believed that existing 3D content was perfectly suited for VR viewing and marketing.
How great it is to watch a 3D movie spread out on your couch in any comfortable position.
Much better than being in a iMax alone. Powerful stuff with headphones ! No distractions.

Lots of AR in the news lately! Expect a lot more this year. I think the general consensus will soon be that whenever Apple, FB and Google (next gen) and MS jump on bored (with consumer glasses) AR will almost be all you hear about in the XR industry.

Exactly, but I wouldn't be surprised if the contrast may be even worst than what's predicted in that article. I think I might'be read somewhere that the AR market will overshadow VR by at a least 70%, if my memory servessmese right. AR's the next computing medium. This should be expected.

We will have to see if something develops. None of these are verified to my knowlage.
Many of the more recent sales were at GDauctions and I think they only publish results quarterly so they may show soon in the DNJ.

I found this Forbes article interesting. It describes the ongoing war of words in the AR/VR/MR/XR world.

VirtualRealityRooms was bought by a domainer hoping to flip it. He's trying to sell it now for $4.5k and he has a few other domains http://www.vrmobile.com/search/

They are good buys actually. UK is apparently one of the more relaxed countries for online gambling legislation, and with the new laws on adult sites requiring age verification a lot of UK affiliates will move over to gambling I think (although I'm not sure if the 'Digital Economy Bill' affects gambling sites too).

Well, I can't say I have not been watching it. I have a separate short list for them.
I generally don't like poker/casino/gambling names for my money, but I do dabble.

Picked-up BitPokerVR as a drop last week.
I did hand reg a few early yesterday that I may reveal later.

But I will say Casino/Gambling names always seem overplayed by investors.
Plenty of players, but only a few with deep pockets for the right name.
Most sales seem to be investor only and many larger sales are never in end-use after many years.
The market changes every few years in that niche. So you hold a time bomb.
If the industry does not change, the regulation changes 'may' just change them for you.

So I play them as a flippers game. Don't want to be the one left holding many of them.
But the valuation of some sales keeps everyone playing. Good for the flipper, so I play it that way.
As it stands, I may have only 11 names for the niche.
For me to buy many more means I have to move some of them first. I have self imposed limits.
Not going long on them has worked for me. Your mileage may vary...lol

What are you talking about? MR is different from AR. Why would somebody describe AR as MR?

Interesting to know, I guess I am happy owning VirtualRealityRoom.com

Many important industry people and companies like Google, Apple and Facebook don't acknowledge the term MR because it's relatively new and unnecessary since people in the industry can't agree on what exactly distinguishes MR from AR. Not even people who use the term MR can agree on what is. MS has even changed it's own definition at least twice and even uses AR from time to time to describe the same technology. There are AR summits. No MR summits, for good reason. There are no MR APIs or code libraries. AR hss been around at least since the 90s and is described similarly enough that the majority of the industry agrees that MR is a pointless term that should be avoided but a few journalists and 2 major CEOs keep using the term inconsistently with other terms just to confuse consumers. This will hopefully end soon but somehow i doubt it.

My advice is to hold on to the very best MR domains until it's absolutely positive that the term is not a good investment domain wise, because you can never know. Magic Leap may be the first successful AR headset, so that could give them more influence over how popular MR becomes as a consumer terminology.

Still holding about 30 MR names
I do believe great longtails will also have a good future.

I actually like the MR term best. lol. As a commoner/average consumer, I think the XR term is too vague(I know most in here disagree). Not sure what XR stands for. I personally think Mixed Reality is the easiest to understand. Reality mixed with Virtual Reality. Again, as an average consumer.......I think the average person considers ar/vr/mr/xr/whateverR......as Virtual Reality.
