If you load up an AR app on your phone, it will often overlap the augmentation over the camera image. So I think reprojecting the outside world using cameras and augmenting that in VR is also a form of AR. Maybe we need a new name for this specifically, though? I don't know. But maybe AVR or VAR?

We don’t need another name because it’s a very common feature in VR headsets. My headset has monochromatic cameras for passthrough, but it’s still a VR headset.

  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.

    But it isn’t. AR means direct optical contact with the real world augmented with a digital layer. What Apple’s VR does is recreate the real pov digitally using cameras, so it’s VR. Google Glass was an example of AR.

    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.

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

Apple already invented the phrase/name: Spatial Computing

  I was thinking more of a general term. I can imagine apple putting all kinds of trademarks over any term they're going to use.
