    I’m not sure about your definition of AR, but if the camera is showing the real world plus digital content then it’s augmented reality.

    Here is some definition:

    In virtual reality (VR), the users’ perception of reality is completely based on virtual information. In augmented reality (AR) the user is provided with additional computer- generated information within the data collected from real life that enhances their perception of reality.

      But it isn’t. AR means direct optical contact with the real world augmented with a digital / computer-generated layer. What Apple’s VR does is recreate the real pov digitally using cameras, so it’s VR.

      Apple’s tech builds a digital world and adds a “reality” layer on top - meaning the user only sees displays. AR’s like Google Glass do the opposite, adding a digital layer on top of the real thing.

          According to that page I’d consider this headset to be augmented virtuality. But yeah these are all gray areas

      The terms are up for definition, I’ve read a ton and there is no specific consensus about optically seeing reality
