Varjo’s XR-1 mixed reality headset

  I have never been a fan of the term mixed-reality, and think it is misleading, confusing, and annoying. Microsoft started it by calling their Hololens AR HMD an MR HMD because they were trying to get some product differentiation and distance from AR and the damage Google had done to the term. Qualcomm tried to sidestep the politics and marketing BS by introducing the term XR, and there has been some traction for that nondescript “we’re doing something with a headset” label. Augmented reality is one part of the metaverse, and virtual reality the other. Paul Milgram and Fumio
