    Yes, AR analyses your world and you and gives you more info about the reality, Mixed Reality just has your screens attend into the world without interacting with it. The only thing I saw that was really AR was the use with a MacBook as a screen.

      You’re describing the difference between “passthrough” AR, and “look through” (or “optical”) AR.

      AR and MR or more pretty much interchangeable.

        I don’t think so. For example with true AR you could look at something like a bus and have it tell you information like the schedule, route, if it’s running on time etc. This is done automatically and without user interaction. What the Vison Pro does is give you floating apps you can interact with

          There is nothing about the Vision Pro that prevents that from happening other than they haven’t implemented it.

          The ability feature to automatically give you information about arbitrary things you’re looking at isn’t a requirement for “true AR”.

          I’m not really defending vision pro, it seems pretty limited. But that doesn’t make it “not true AR” and MR doesn’t mean “crappy/inferior AR”
