2008, then you were there early. Do you still have good AR names from that time?
I have never had that many AR keyworded names. Not for the lack of looking at it responsibly.
My first was a 4 char .com in 2008 (after looking, it was 2007)
I just don't find the keyword that strong for 'use in domains'.
My less than 10 AR keyworded names more relate to hardware.
For software, I find you need to infer the AR in 'application', not name. But I'm sure there will be 'some' need and use.
Is it realistic to assume there will be a 'ARgolf' application... absolutely ! But generally a tougher nut to crack.
I know some feel differently, but,
AR + keyword / keyword + AR does not work like it does for VR. But this could change. I keep a watch for it.
If I missed that boat, then so be it. I'm not holding 150 names to keep one boat afloat. There are plenty more.
Just because a word is used heavily in news or conversation does not mean it will find a 'need' in domains.
A mistake most newb's make, IMHO anyway.
When I discover that a new tech is likely with a given keyword, I always head for the hardware names first.
Because software/applications takes a bit more time to figure out and get it right. You really have to envision how it's actually going to land in the real world.
The best later example I might have in that, was VR/360/180 photo/video, which I do expect to be a thing. Exactly how deep or broad remains to be seen. It may be my last hardware related that also have software implications.
Most of my later names are application of the techs and do not contain the cherished keywords. It is implied.
ie HolodeckVacations / TeleporterTours may be a couple of good examples. And you have a good idea what these do without explanation.
So looking at those,
the need for names describing a MARKETABLE APPLICATION. And they are not specific to VR/AR/MR
While I let this one drop a few years ago, LifeSizeGames I thought was choice at one time. I can clearly see it being a application of many sorts. But you can't nor should you try to hold everything. Just some strong ones from many areas.
Greed will eat you alive.
So, forgive me for going beyond the original question, but more recent events show me additional comment needed.
Keywords are great for some things but you need to think outside the common domain'r box a bit.
For everyone,
While many of you are now targeting Spatial as a keyword, in the real world, 'I see' the need for the description of a
'SPACE' like room arena hall group field etc and was on that 6-7+ years ago.
VRTrainingRooms VRChatRoom VRPokerRoom etc and yes, 3 word domain sometimes are required to fully describe something and not leave one wondering what it is or make it memorable. The memorable part is more important.
Yes two words are better but still only if memorable and 'not hard to spell'. There are only so many 2 worder's available to you and more important, the end user. When they are gone, what then ? no word'rs ? Be realistic.
Does it describe a person place or thing exactly ? I made a argument for them in about 2010 in Rick Schwartz blog knowing that 2 word'rs were eventually going to run short and the sales charts of the last 8 years have proven that they are viable for many needs. Gotta be memorable without being hard to spell.
This past weeks sale of MentalHealthCenter.org @ $31.5k tells you what ?
3 words 18 char .org
Tells me it was memorable, easy to spell and needed. What 2 word'r would describe the same ?
If you can think of one, it is not likely available for sale. Yes, time be a change'n. If you are on it.
How you navigate all this is up to you. To each his/her own.
But don't get to literal. I have seen many loose their shirt over it. I have been around to see a lot of naked chests.
Be diverse.
