I honestly doubt this will take off, but it'll be interesting as a tech demo for what AR/VR can be at the highest end.

I wouldn't consider it AR because it's still a fully virtual environment the user is interacting with, granted it's built convincingly from the camera feeds. If the lens were a clear passthrough into the real world+layering virtual elements over it then I think it falls under AR.

It's mostly semantics though. The line between AR and VR has been fuzzy since we started shoving camera passthrough on devices.
