Virtual Reality Domains (VR)

[mrcurly]

Im betting big bucks on VR domains have a great future and with the big boys buying up VR companies, mainstream is a stones throw away.....

Lots of VR+keyword.com taken years ago and I noticed this sale a week or so back -

VRTechnology.com $3688

This was a steel and I can soon see everything from VRPoker / VRCasinos / VRShopping / VRBrowsing / VRTours / VRWorlds / etc etc....having a high price tag even now at the start of VR hitting mainstream...

I have just paid $x,xxx for a name but will not be showcasing as the domain is in escrow at present....

Feel free to showcase your VR domains If you like...

Cheers

Why 'teleportation' makes sense in virtual reality

Getting around in virtual reality is a bit tricky right now. Even in room-scale VR, players are restricted by the physical size of their play space. Trying to walk to a point on a digital horizon might cause you to crash into a very real wall -- which is why VR games like Robo Recall and Budget Cutsallows players to teleport through the experience, rather than walk. This works surprisingly well, but I could never put my finger on why it worked. At Oculus Connect 3 this week, VR filmmaker Eric Darnell gave me an answer: teleportation in VR works because I grew up watching television.

Darnell has a lot to say about the future of storytelling in virtual reality -- as the co-founder of Baobab studios, he's made VR filmmaking his business. Teleportation, he says, is really just the VR equivalent of the "cuts" we're used to seeing in TV and film.
He credits Bullet Train for pioneering the practice in virtual reality, but seems to think the mechanic was inevitable. "Teleportation in games is like giving the viewer or player the ability to 'edit' their experience in film." It feels somewhat natural because it's a storytelling tool filmmakers have been using for over a century. Giving that control to the player, however, makes his job a little harder.

Sometimes it's the sci-fi experience that is the one that folks relate to and make the keywords easy to relate to as a functional name and purpose. Conveying the 'proper impression' is what keywords are all about.

I missed TeleporterTours. Bought by a end-user. You don't have to imagine to much to know what that will be used for and is in use. My greatest regret thus far since it was on my short list for over 5 months.
But I never reg more than 6 per month from the short list so I just picked the wrong 6 for many months.
Only missed it by 1 month ! (banging head)

Oculus brings VR gameplay streams to your Facebook news feed

Facebook has been experimenting with livestreaming gaming for a bit, and now Oculus is coming into the fold. You'll be able to broadcast your Gear VR gameplay to the world's largest social network.
From the stage presentation, perhaps unsurprisingly it resembles how the current streams work.
Basically, it looks like a status update, and you can tag friends, comment and talk smack. Or, ill-timed words of encouragement from your family members as you blast away enemies.
Because that's how Facebook works.

as opposed to our "real" world with all its limitations and constraints, everything will make sense (ie: be possible) in VR

which is why potential and appeal of VR should also become without limit one day.

Some start-ups are already jumping into the 3d/VR body scanning business for Avatar creation purposes...

Check out:

http://lunascanner.com/

PS - They are also looking for investors...

About a year ago I had mentioned the 3d-scanning and avatar creation would be a big thing once this got going. While it is cool to be your fav superhero in vr social media, after you are in a room with 20 HULKS,
I think that novelty will wear off and you will want to be as unique as you are by being yourself...
...or a augmented version of yourself.
While I had some in my short list, I didn't think any of them were strong enough except one.
So I just grabbed it...
AvatarWiz - better late then never. Thanks for the reminder to play the segment.
Kinda forgot about it, but most avatar names (good generics) have been well held for 5-10 years.
Perhaps keep your eyes on the drop list for them because it will be a THING in social VR.
I'm sticking with the brandable route for this.

You should keep 360VRAD.com a good one imo.

WOW!!!! I was eating spaghetti reading this. and laughed so hard noodles came out my nose. (true story). Thanks for that Elad. quite unexpected. so keey 360VRAD hopefully it's future sale will cover all the rest. probably just break even.

Think the rest will at least get bids on Namejet for $69?

Edit: I hate overposting and I always forget to mention s**t last minute.so better to edit and add this.

Saw this on my other social media.

How does Google search work in each country?

Ever since i bought 'VRExperiences' It has always showed on Google UK, around 13,000 exact matches. Yet out of interest yesterday i went on GooogleUSA typed the term in and came up with '426,000' exact matches, now the UK version says 426,000 too

Typing in another one of my names 'MergedReality' - MergedReality came up with around '106,000' exact matches last week on GoogleUK, i've just searched again now and it comes up with '1,340' but GoogleUSA the term finds '98,500'.

I hope you are not using search result data. That is just how many instances the search words are found in web content. Useless data for domaining. And google changes the search algorithms quite frequently.
They decide what is relevant to your search query.
It has no value that it is in web pages the most if nobody is looking for it.

You want search 'term' data.
How many times a end-user types the term into the search box.
(that info made many of the oldest domainers very rich 15-20 years ago even though they got that info underhandedly through sneaky applets)
What you type-in that search box is a multi-billion dollar biz and has been for a long time.
Use Google trends. (perhaps you are and just said it wrong)
Then subtract things that show up that are not relevant to your inquiry and break it down by region/country.
For instance looking at the search term 'VR'...
you will find 'VR bank' listing in the query results of most popular terms that you need to subtract for a more accurate number for virtual reality. There are others but that's the example demo for the newb's.
You can then break it down more by area or vice-versa.
Easier to start by region and subtract the unwanted numbers for each.
It's easy to get confused by the numbers if you only look at them on the raw surface.

That data and adword data are going to start playing on VR Names next year.
I would advise anyone to take the time to understand it well.
The practice will help in making good decisions.

HELL yeah!

Social VR Platform ‘VRChat’ Raises $1.2M Seed Funding

Is my memory failing me, or didn't someone from the thread here at one time used to own VRchat.com? (If so, congrats and I hope you made a bundle!...) In any event, a "top-20" VR domain being put to good use!

I have been buying big on social vr for more than 3 years and found the keyword CHAT very attractive for VR then as I do now. I have close to two dozen very good .com's for the Social VR niche.

vrChatrooms Chat4D vrChatz (I think I have mentioned these before for examples)

This will be a very heavy segment at the right time. Just has yet to develop.
Could take 3-5 years additional to hit max demand for pure generics.
But I'm quite certain that both Google , FaceBook and perhaps Twitter and SnapChat have something cool to show us in VR chat room style social vr next year.
But it is everyone else that tries the same is what will make it for our domains.
It's always the private never herd of before player that comes from behind to lead a new tech niche.
I don't see why this (VR SOCIAL) would be any different. AND, They will need a name !

Agree. Big sales and development poised to emerge from this segment. When Mark Zuckerberg yesterday dawn the Rift and was taking selfies... that is a big deal. A big chunk of VR will be about people and people interacting and sharing with people. That's why I targeted names like VRBuddy VRPals PeopleVR VRPeeps etc because "Chat" and being social is done within and amongst these groups.

VRChatRoom.com is in the portfolio

Congrats with your sale!

I am also lucky today waking up and have a Sedo mail with confirming a (buy now) sale. Yesterday also a sale (bid) with Sedo and closed to sale within a couple of hours... Getting also some nice affiliate sales the last couple of days. A great start for Oktober and we are just at the 8th...!

ROOM, is another keyword favorite of mine that best describes social and other vr places,
http://virtualspeech.com/blog/job-interview-and-public-speaking-training-rooms/
Didn't think there would be a real practical application on the market this soon.
VRTrainingRoom(s) as generic as it gets.
If I were still looking for buys in the social vr market, I would look at branding opportunities.
Take your time and think on it a while.

I think it is clear that we are seeing a number of sales increase and in the valuations of them.
Congrat's @alcy, I could see a lot of uses for that name.

thanks. yes I see a lot of uses too. whch is why I said I see it as good investment for buyer with value in years only going up. never easy to let go off good domains this early in VR. but roi is roi and cashflow necessary to keep other things going and alive for future. and I think most of us here know and follow pretty much the same drill with our VR domains.

buyer sounded like a definite enduser in this case, with some project in mind relating to photography and VR, in the couple comments we exchanged during gd negotiations. look forward to see a live site one day. cheers.

The domain sales are not VR related. One of them (with the buy now option) AsianCams.co.

Affiliate earnings are not directly VR related but i could have referred a new customer with one of my VR adult domains. I send most of my adult traffic to one cam company.

I know of about 50 unreported VR sales between August into October (not my own) in the range of ~$900-$2500. 20 in the final week of September. The pot is boiling and day by day investors are taking note. If you understand historical pricing and not tagging $10k plus on everything for no reason folks should do well. Congrats @alcy and @Type-In ROI ROI ROI

thats great news. thanks for sharing.
exactly my thoughts that I mentioned recently too.. that each day more investors take note.. which creates also a non enduser market... less lucrative and importnat than enduser, but still a market... that should not be ignored...

is this just other vr domainers you know personally if I may ask?
