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

That new internet will be referred to WebVR and then maybe The Metaverse...

Mikkel will be able to retire on that domain sale if he holds out for another 5-10yrs

Absolutely.

Which Domain sale?

Which Domain sale?

I believe he's talking about the future sale of WebVR on the king, which is owned by someone here.

The State of virtual reality

One could argue that the age of virtual reality kicked-off during last year's Game Developers Conference, an event that nearly coincided with the launch of two of the technology's most important head-mounted displays in recent history: the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive.

Months later — virtual reality hype still continuing to build — E3 opened its doors, giving retailers, streamers, journalists and developers a chance to look at a flood of VR games, apps, accessories and the soon-to-be released PlayStation VR headset.

That show — E3 2016 — was both the peak and turning point of virtual reality hype: highlighting the best and worst of technology in a setting almost designed to strip away nuance.

Stories both exulted the big showing as a tremendous success for VR games and decried it as a massive misstep for VR. E3 demonstrated the worst of the tech, according to The Verge. E3 2016 was the moment VR gaming finally made sense,according to Vice. Cnet wrote that the show mostly highlighted just how far the technology has to go. Virtual reality won E3, wrote the International Business Times. Engadget declared E3 secretly terrible for the future of VR.

By the time the PlayStation VR headset launched in October, it seemed the most vocal of supporters among analysts and journalists were already declaring virtual reality over. This year that undercurrent of un-hype, de-buzz — call it what you will — has steadily harped on how much virtual reality hasn't met expectations. And while PlayStation said they’ve sold a million PSVR headsets, Vive and Oculus remain mum on sales.

Despite that lack of numbers by most, those deeply invested in the technology, especially companies like Microsoft, Vive, Oculus and PlayStation, all say they're happy with where things are and that internal expectations were exceeded.

As we walk our way into this year's E3, one thing is clear: The fate of virtual reality and its current health is a far more subtle thing to judge than what can be discerned from the funk of VR's post-launch gloom or even its pre-launch hype

Funny, way back when I was regging VR names I thought about Virtual Reality documentaries, and went a completely different way with a brandable...

Vocumentary / com (In retrospect, I shoulda jumped in your direction, then I would be having an auction at Sedo - Good luck, btw... )

 

[Constantin S]

VRComputing dot com sold for $1250 on Flippa just few minutes ago. (not my sale)

Seems a bit low in price. Buyer got a bargain, IMO.

Congrats to both buyer and seller.

 

[alcy]

bit quiet after some nice sales in may.. but did get $200 on VRmeta...com today

will try to negotiate as its one of my very long term hold domains... also own a cool longtail:

MetaVirtualReality.com

mind you.. fun fact: both vrmeta..com and metavirtual...com are ancient ~20years domains. neat I know.

cheers

I too was hoping for a little bit more, but IMO generally this auction was right in the range I expected for this stong - but not superlative - kw... Honestly, with the exception of "Cloud computing" related names, historic "computing" kw sales seem to have been mostly right in that 1-3.5k range... (e.g. If you have MyComputing and SocialComputing selling for @2k, this sale isn't out of the ballpark at all...) In the final analysis, for a 2 year old name, I think this is a very nice ROI...

Congrats to both Buyer and Seller!

I feel same way about this keyword.
not big fan of ing keywords to begin with.. though there are some great ones.. dating..gaming etc.. but this one pretty much got its worth at least for time being.

vrnetwork is by far superior.. so I hope it fetches few bucks more

cheers

Nah, I disagree. VRComputing far outweighs the outdated examples you gave. By comparison, VR is far stronger than My or Social as a kw, with the term Computing. I expected to see at least 1.5k - 2k for this one, but again, it ended a bit low.

Nonetheless, it's a good sale. Not great, but good. I'm definitely not knocking it. The sale clearly gives the seller some solid ROI, and leaves plenty of room for the buyer to make theirs, IMO.

Again, congrats to both buyer and seller.

Network is a strong keyword indeed, but you're examples are comparing apples to oranges, IMO. If you remove "ing" from computing it's a rubbish domain, even with VR. VR Computing far superior to VR Compute.

VR game to gaming, date to dating, network to networking. Far different than compute to computing.

Just my .02...give or take a penny.

maybe I was not clear.. but when I said VRnetwork is superior to VRcomputing that;s exactly what I meant.. I was not trying to comapre what happens when you add ing to network or remove ing from computing

but yes, as you say, we can draw all kinds of comparaisons.. when we remove ing... or add ing.. etc.. for my post above, I simpyl said that I hope vrnetwork fetches more than vrcomputing cause imo it is by far superior to it. imo. that's not apples and oranges, that's just two distinct domains and my saying which one is imo better.

cheers.

@RevolutionaryDomains, I actually agree that VRComputing may very well turn out to be the stronger name... In about 3-4 years! My reasoning is as follows: SocialComputing.com was apparently sold in 2008 about 4 years after Facebook was founded and after FB already had about 90 million users and was monetizing content. In contrast, in VR only about 7-8 million headsets have been sold to date (and most of those are Gear type...) and the field is so new folks still haven't generally figured out how to monetize VR content outside of the basic gaming model. Once VR gets to 30-50 million units and social VR hits its stride, I think we will have hit critical mass and things will begin to change significantly and valuations will increase dramatically.

Point being, I have little doubt that VRcomputing is worth much more than "My" and "Social" in the future, but we have to deal with "present value" right now when much about VR remains speculative... (I know for me, as well as many other domainers, determining "present value" is more art than science when it comes to future trend names... And IMO folks often over-value their names "present-value" in the first couple of years after a new technology emerges and before a firm business case is established for the tech... That's why I advocate holding premium names for 3-4 years until they are properly "ripe!" )

your reply is not particularly helpful to domainVp's request for $500+ sale info.

I think adeptVR has some chance!

The VR industry is gaining strength day by day. You've a strong point.

Either GamezVr and Vrebate are that good or that bad that I get no commentary. LOL any thoughts?

@NamesBond - Thanks for the in-depth explanation of your opinions. I understand your reasoning and appreciate where you're coming from, in addition to how/why you reached your conclusions. I just don't agree with them!

My opinion is based upon what I feel is "present day" value of VR, and as such, regardless of prior sales from 2011 or 2008, and which companies were at their peak with now many users, etc; I think this specific name should have brought 1500-2000 in today's VR market. Again, IMO..however misguided it may be in some people's eyes.

No need to waste anymore time on moot banter over a lukewarm sale. Solid name, good ROI for seller, plenty of room for good ROI for buyer...all of which equal positive impact for VR names...
