Should we rebrand passthrough into AR porn?

spacepirate so XR should be the term then? Cuz XR is like the whole enchilada?

XXXR Porn lol

Vrsumo2017 no because AR and VR are not the same thing and shouldnt be treated the same

spacepirate what about "spatial porn"

Apple been throwing that word around since the reveal of the vision, like it's something new.

Ar vr Mr xr spatial, idk it's tomany terms now, it's all the same imo.

Rebrand it into whatever you want, but on a separate site. I don't want my subscription money to be spent on something that isn't VR porn.

AR would be more specific but contrary to what others may say XR would also work and technically does cover the whole enchilada. Your team is working on a way to also enjoy passthrough videos with virtual backgrounds, if that's not the whole enchilada right there, then I don't know what is hahaha

I guess saying XR is like saying human instead of american, asian, or african I guess. It's a broader category that cover multiple sub categories within it, why would you not be able to use it? I guess I would personally and maybe for financial and market saturation purposes see which term, other than VR is more widely used and popular with the masses. That way you can decide if you want to get more specific with AR or more broad with XR.

XR to me just sounds cooler but I have to admit that AR to me sounds more familiar and widely used, specially by people who are not super into this stuff like we are. My wife for example, she is more likely to know what AR is vs XR if I ask her if she knows what either mean.

metichemsi AR would be more specific but contrary to what others may say XR would also work and technically does cover the whole enchilada.

Plus I like the X in XR you know for X Rated

metichemsi lol

Will65 Sure, the set of definitions presented in the pic makes sense and is consistent in itself.

When thinking about how I perceive PT, I think AR does not really apply either. Using a Q2, it is rather a view of the virtual world with an underlay of a vague representation of the physical world, thus Augmented VR (AVR). I assume that the brains of those people enjoying PT as it is in Q2 manage to combine the grainy b/w reality and the VR image into something they perceive as a delightful experience.

Clearly, a lot of people are not enjoying PT. They might call it AVR as well, the A standing for abysmal.

Absolutely AR Porn or Mixed Reality porn would be attractive to people not really interested in the space but are curious about new types of porn experiences. I mean " Hot girls in your living room" sells itself .

It's like all of those ancient fake sex site ads " Hot milfs in your area WANT YOU!" but there's at least some truth to it in Augmented / Mixed Reality porn.

Docbear64 " Hot milfs in your area WANT YOU!"

Wait! What? They were fake??

Will65 because when it comes to marketing decisions, especially product or consumer facing names, you dont always only factor "technicalities" but also keep in mind the broadness of your reach with certain terms. Same way VR180 is widely used on here to cover both equirectangular vs fisheye content. Also originals arent even 180, they are technically 200+ but nobody here calls their content VR200 right? It's all a matter of how into the weeds you want to get and the more detailed or precise you get with these naming conventions the more niche it becomes and the less people will even know what that is. Go talk to people you know are not into VR at all and ask them if they have heard of either AR or XR? I'm willing to be bet that even through they probably wont know what either of those mean or the technical differences between the two, they are more likely to have at one point heard or seen headlines with AR more so than XR.

All I am saying is that this should be considered. Is their target audience only us members of this site and geeks on these forums? Or will they be marketing this product to more people outside of these small circles?

I think Google just started the term IR Immersive Reality , lol
