Comment on Apple Vision Pro available in the U.S. on February 2

If the lens were a clear passthrough into the real world+layering virtual elements over it then I think it falls under AR.
The most appropriate term I can think of is Mixed Reality for Apple’s application

Wow, your comment is the first time it's been made clear to me that this thing isn't actually see-through and that's just a screen on the outside. I thought it was essentially a sleeker looking Hololense. I've had the wrong impression of this thing the entire time, and now I'm much less impressed by it.

Lol, yeah, and what’s crazy to me is they have the inner eye tracking cams projecting the user’s expressions back to that outer screen. Incredibly complicated implementation soaking up precious compute cycles, for no real reason. Usual Apple things.
