showing the real world plus digital content then it’s augmented 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.

I can assure you, there exists no such consensus on the definition of any of the terms.

The most universal you’ll get for AR is the combination of primarily real-world with some digital aspects.

I’ve read extensively on the topic. Albeit a couple of years ago.

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