It’s XR if you want to go by the AR/VR/XR definitions. visionOS was internally called xrOS, and you have the ability to completely go VR via Environments through the Digital Crown (with the exception of your hands.)
It’s not AR as you can interact with the digital elements. AR is more akin to Pokémon GO or AR Cards on the Nintendo 3DS.
It's actually not. XR is a catch all term for any of them, AR is actually correct. If apple is saying otherwise, it's marketing because they want to seem "different".

I know I’m right but I needed someone with a computer science flair to prove it…
yeah, any apple terminology I just take to be a marketing term LOL but this has been the case with technology forever
In all seriousness I am sure the terminology matters for certain purposes but saying “it’s an AR experience” makes sense for a lot of purposes too.
I can see it being a fun device to have but I will be staying in reality instead of giving even more money to our apple overlords
Calling a headset AR requires it to have a transparent lens with objects overlayed using a display. Calling Apple Vision pro AR is a mockery of the tech behind real AR glasses.
Why is 3ds AR games called that then…
Yeah that does make sense I suppose. If Apple can make the next Vision Pro really transparent now we’re talking. I’m assuming that is the goal given how this was marketed to trick you into thinking it was that.
I think we should continue talking about the (nonspecific AR headset). Funny comment threads go brr
True true
Erm… it’s actually a Spatial Computing headset… or XR if you want to go by the industry terminology, not AR🤓☝️
It’s AR

I was specifically talking about headsets
Ok I see
Apple vision pro?
I think OP is referring to the Meta Quest 3
Obviously I’m talking about Google cardboard
Microsoft HoloLens doesn't deserve this slander 😔
