Relati-"vee"-ty?

They could brand it like "relatiVty" or "RELATIvTY", I guess.

Or maybe "relativTY" (relative, thank you [open source community])?

Either way, by searching for "relativity vr headset" you end up on the proper website. So the point is kind of moot in my opinion. People might remember it as the "correct" spelling and end up at the right place anyway.

I agree that "relativity" isn't a great name: it's a mouthful at 5 syllables, and I don't see a logical connection between the name and the product.

But I don't understand why the name would be infuriating. Can you explain?

The name is "Relativty" without the last 'i'

That's the issue. It's an awkward 4 syllables.

"Relative-T"?

The fact that you thought it was "relativity" is exactly what makes it infuriating, I think.

Not the OP but I thought it was miss-spelled at first.

Infuriating? Let's not go there here please.

Really? Wow.

Getting infuriated by something as shallow as a "brand name" inevitably leads to shallow comments.

Perhaps I'm overreacting to one word there, but fury doesn't make for curious conversation.

Can you give more details on this? Is that name already associated with something else?

‘Relativity’ would anyway be generic, non-descriptive for this product domain and cliche, but then to mispell it just to 'get a domain' (or whatever the logic was) seems poorly considered - every time I see 'relativty' it reads as a typo.

Choosing names is Hard though, I appreciate.
