VR vs. Hologram

Spaceship Spaceship
Watch
Virtual Reality and Holograms are basically the same thing when used in a device like the hololens - don't you think? Depending on the method of display....

So what does this mean for VR domains vs. Hologram domains?

I've been into Holo since @3dDomainNames and @gilescoley first posted there buys 5 + years ago.

The current boom of regs and offers on Holo are just domainers buying into this niche, since the HoloLens News.

As For VR sold a few last year to endusers - so I'm not too fused eitherway.

End of the day it's what the enduser wants. Be it VR or Holo.

Lots of niches to be in - you gotta be smart and not be holding a bag full of crap at the end.

Domaining aside... the two techs are very different, even in what the two companies are trying to achieve.
Using Oculus or VR would be similar to putting a full sized helmet on over your head and not being able to see the world around you. I can be standing directly next to you - but you would not be able to see me because you would have blinders on... a screen in front of you. While inside your helmet, you are seemingly taken away to a whole new world of your choosing... your mind is basically tricked into thinking that you are in this new world even though you would have never left the couch.
It has already been pointed out that the experience of VR will feel so real that the biggest worry is that someone with a bad heart can (and WILL most likely) die from the excitement it can cause. Example being sky diving. Someone with a bad heart can actually feel like they are really jumping out of a plane leading their heart beat to accelerate to the point of no return.
Think of VR as entertainment, gaming and a honestly, a drug.

HoloLens is really different from everything i just outlined in the fact that Microsoft (MS) is really just looking for a new way to interact with all the computing devices we already have and use... this is not meant to be an alternate world.
In comparison to above - HoloLens would be similar to putting a full sized helmet on over your head - BUT - it's completely clear and you never lose sight of the real world around you or the people in it. Instead, you are able to COMBINE the real world, with the functionality of the helmet, thus interacting with the real world around you AND the computer. It will combine both Augmented Reality and holographic technology seamlessly.
MS looks like they are aiming more for production and creativity than creating new virtual worlds like VR, although, would not be surprised to see these two bridged together somehow.
I would look at HoloLens as computing, productive, social, creative and business

As far as domains go?
... seems to me there are a lot of opportunities in future trends if you plan accordingly :)

In my opinion holo name will be more valuable then vr cause of better pronounce.

Microsoft actually knows that its product is not hologram tech but it will be more memorizable then vr name for average consumer.

So holo prefix is now good for both virtual reality tech and also holography tech(like it should be).

But i have about 100 of vr domains and 40 of holo domains right now and dont know what to do actually...

hololens implements AR (Augmented Reality) and not VR or Holographic technologies IMO

However VR and Holo domains should increase in demand/popularity because of the way hololens is marketed, similar to 3D cinema when first introduced users need 3D glasses to see in 3D but it's really 2D

AR domains will be the real winner here IMO

Holo/Hologram is purely a 3d Visual without Lens/Glass/Goggles.
Ex: Holo MJ
Holo Show in Dubai

Where VR is like TV/PC Screen kinda merged in the gear/Glass/Goggles that you wear, bringing those visuals/characters more close with realistic feel to the User.
In regular Screens while playing games/porn/tour user have a limited distance with the Digital world but in VR that distance is drastically lessened and the user feels personalized feeling like being there-doing that!!
Plus, 180-360 Degree view is an integral part of VR where in Holo it need not to be.
Ex: VR
VR Fly

For just Holograms (without glasses) one needs those holo-projection-setup that restricted to a room ( I mean, we cant carry those holo-devices everywhere, anyway, dyo remember the Villain rolls out 3 marbles in Ironman 3!!?)

Now what Microsoft has come up with is an user interface combined with Augmented Reality + Holograms which is very smart n cool!!

Just my Rookie-2-cents!! Correct me if am wrong somewhere!!
Cheers!

VR - For me is more an immersive experience where you can go to places no one has been like to the moon and feel like you're there. Can be use for Movie & Gaming Experience.

Holo/AR - A tool where Physical & Digital interact which can be use for Phygital shopping, 3D Simulations, & getting information on things you interact with.

i feel Holo would be the future too, but vr is quite a big deal as well. How about Vn, Virtualnetwork?

It may be a mistake on my part, but I’ve not bought any ‘holo’ domain names.

For me ‘holograms’ was just a simple/cool word used to describe AR/MR for people who don’t know anything about it, this tech doesn't really use holograms though, so the whole ‘holo’ domain investment seems to be because the Microsoft have called their device ‘HoloLens’, what happens if they change the name of this device?

When AR gets advanced enough, be it on its own or mixed with VR (MR) it can produce experiences that relate more to what you know, therefore in those situations, will be more realistic.

Just as an example:

Turning your house into a haunted house via AR will really blow away, probably more so than a VR experience.

Problem is, the technology to do that realistically is AR is a while off, so VR already has the power to do it.

I love all the realities, and happy to be dipped into all hoping for a good future :)

Well if they change it, holo still a great keyword. It is obvious holo wont be a trash. But i cant say same for vr-mr-ar. And trust me i have good names on both niche, probably more in vr side but i still see holo as a stronger investment.

I thought we'd be in immersive hologram gaming atmospheres by now with smellovision and all but it doesn't seem to be the case. Vr seems to be the mainstay for now, maybe holograms will catch traction in 5+ years. Not really sure why it's called holo lens, kind of misleading.

Holo lens is Microsoft`s own branding term for the tech.

why are you so confident Holo wont be trush while you cant say thesame for VR/MR/AR ?

because holo is unique, but there are a lot of complication with vr-mr-ar.

Holo is branding term for hologram and holographic. This is simple.

Lets think about VR and see how many kw we can create from it;


VR
VirtualReality
VirtuReal
VirtualReal
VirtuReality
Virtual
Virtu
Virt
VReal
VReality

Also some of these work with keyword on both side and it doubles the amount again.

Even you can just use Reality, like CasinoReality would be a good brand.

But holo;

Holo
Hologram
Holographic

This is why i am confident about holo :/

Also holo is very generic, all sci-fi movies made people adopt this keyword. Just think about StarWars. Half of tech names mentioned in StarWars are holo related.

Though they are more or less same, I like VR in domain names rather than Hologram.

Not convinced about holo yet. Ofcourse premiums will be good but only ms will push holo. Some other terms will be pushed by more giants.

In the end i believe VR MR and Holo will gain more momentum as AR will lose momentum for various reasons.

Forget about ms, i meant real holograms. Real volumetric display i mean.

Also imo while you are walking on the street, AR is best since you cant use VR :D and you wouldnt like your documants get interact with other things on the road. I also think AR will lose its power as a kw but time will show i believe. Mr is actually Ar, just because augmented is hard to say they rebranding it imo.

You are right about AR imo .

Its being marketed as MR, also because augmented reality=goggle glass failure.
Besides AR is a part of MR.

About real holograms, its really far.
to far for me...
There are ofcourse prototypes but it will take a lot of time.

But AR ia not entirely MR , its just a part of MR..

I’m not sure why you think ‘Holo’ is going to be bigger than the VR abbreviation, type VR into Google and you see what comes up. Type in ‘holo’ and all you find is pictures of a female anime character and the holocaust, nothing on any virtual device.

I’ve not even invested too much in the AR abbreviation personally, because I believe companies involved in AR will all be involved in VR/MR too, so I think single ‘v’ will be the choice some companies will go with, I’m so convinced by that I’ve spent big money on it already and was in negotiations to spend big on it again yesterday.

It fell through, so I don’t mind saying what I was trying to buy, I was looking to buy v-commerce.

Type that in on Google and see what comes up, how it’s going to replace e-commerce. Look at past sales of what ‘e’ domains what have sold for, things like eFlowers for 7 figures.

It makes perfect sense that ‘v’ COULD (and I highlight the word COULD) because no one knows for sure, represent all different types of virtual tech.

You forget some strong multi billion powers are involved here.

VR wont take it all in, and also not V imo.

Giants that invest in AR and MR (abd Holo) wont let the media associate them with V or VR.

no need to imagine or invent new VR combinations. look at what sells in namebio. it's all there on record. and its all VR+kw .. then a few kw+VR.. few virtual+kw.. and hopefully virtualreality+kw will catch up in future. there is nothing complicated about VR and what sold or sells in VR.
