I don't think Apple or Microsoft's (released) AR stuff can be used for VR. Apple's ARKit just runs on a phone screen (which obviously isn't AR) and HoloLens doesn't have the field of view to be VR. So they'll probably converge eventually but the products right now solve one or the other, but not both.

  Because it feeds the world through a camera onto a flat sheet of glass, instead of being a translucent surface onto which computer-generated images are projected.

  My bad, meant to say "obviously isn't VR."
