Digistrings (from Seanspeed via Reddit, who also added a "lol" 😄) There's probably a bunch of good ones with the "-string" suffix. |

The Thirtystring RedofPaw referenced a book on Reddit, which has an instrument called an "elevenstring". |

Aetherian Harp
Asterian Harp
Ichorean Harp
Uses greek name to personify the instrument. Similar to the Aoelian Harp (Wind harp) Which is entirely played by wind. Also Greek names sound cool by default. Win-win. 💯 Aetherian just sounds cool for one. Unlike names which include "VR" in the name, it isn't gimmicky sounding and it sets itself up for sub-classing. Aetherian Harps could be the over-aching name VR native instruments. (Swap out Harp for the instrument class it's mimicing) In my opinion, your instrument seems more like a harp then a guitar IDK. Anyway, Aetherian sounds legit enough that music academics (people) outside of VR might willing adopt that name as well for these VR native instruments. And that's are overall goal right? Get people who are not into VR to adopt the technology and new vernacular that goes with the tech. -Kurt Steinke |
Just call it "Strum" |

@KRSteinke Thanks! I really like where you're headed. You're right, I should be thinking about this as a "brand name" that could cover a variety of instruments. As another bonus, my business name is Aesthetic Interactive, so it would be using those "Ae" first letters again. |

@zachkinstner Oh wow didn't even notice that regarding your company name. Triple win. |

Considering the left hand circle/radial function and the guitar-base, I was thinking of the cyclotar or radiatar (ray-dee-uh-tar). |

@Renuf I like those, thanks! |

I started this project with the intention of building a guitar in VR. Along the way, I decided that it would be better to invent a new instrument that works really well in VR, rather than trying to mimic a real guitar. So, I'm looking for a new name for this thirty-string... strum-able... impossible... virtual... instrument.
I put out a request for names in the 2015-10-22 DevUp video. I'll add names below as I receive them, and anyone else can feel free to add them as well.
And eventually, I suppose I'll need to make a decision about this :)
