    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.

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