    The Vision Pro, despite Apple’s marketing, is not AR. AR devices like Hololens allow you to see AR overlayed on top of the world. VR devices like the Vision Pro allow you to see the world behind the headset through cameras. VR isn’t really new either, but VR headsets that you can realistically wear continuously like in Apple’s ads have yet to come out.

      Ah, that’s right. But there have been people wearing VR goggles very long. And MS Hololens (although AR) was similar enough to not ignore imho.

      Apple hasn’t called it AR.

      But it absolutely is AR. If you can see the real world in real time, with additional information on top of it, that’s AR. Your requirement that it not be on a screen is completely arbitrary and has no basis behind it whatsoever.
