What I Found
A practical look at why this headset is better understood as an AR headset, not full VR, and why its $3,500 price.
The headline around this headset makes it sound like a full mixed reality or VR device, but that is not really how I would describe it after looking at what it is doing.
My quick take: this is an AR headset at its core. It may offer an environment-style mode, but I would not put that in the same category as a true VR headset that scans the room, maps your space, and understands where you are.
