Just found the answer on the site:
VR places the user in another location entirely. Whether that location is computer-generated or captured by video, it entirely occludes the user’s natural surroundings.
In augmented reality—like Google Glass or the Yelp app’s Monocle feature on mobile devices—the visible natural world is overlaid with a layer of digital content.
In technologies like Magic Leap’s, virtual objects are integrated into—and responsive to—the natural world. A virtual ball under your desk, for example, would be blocked from view unless you bent down to look at it. In theory, MR could become VR in a dark room.
- talmand 11y agoI've never heard augmented reality described as essentially a fancy HUD. Every other example of it I've seen on the web describes it as what these people are trying to call mixed reality. They are just trying to create a new term that they own.
