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

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