Stop wearing Vision Pro goggles while driving your Tesla: U.S. transportation officials, Calif. police::Videos, many of them stunts or jokes, of people wearing Apple’s new virtual reality headset while driving Teslas in Autopilot mode prompted officials to issue warnings.
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
