    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 - almost expected - feature in VR headsets. My headset has monochromatic cameras for passthrough, but it’s still a VR headset.

      Also, often the whole idea is that this passthrough layer can be toggled at anytime or even gradually mixed with the computer-generated reality, so creating another name will just increase confusion.

        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.
