Apple promote this as an AR tool. They never use the words VR at all.

AR is augmenting your reality. But if that augmentation includes pain, dizziness and headaches then I would hardly consider that an upgrade.

Maybe they can fix the bulk, battery and comfort issues. Or maybe this is just peak hubris. who knows.

How is it augmented? Reality here is disconnected as whole and distorted by video. AR should be augmenting on top of reality. This is SR - Secondhand Reality.
