Maybe pedantic, but this seems like just a heads-up display. AR implies the projected image interacts with real objects in your field of vision. I wouldn't call this AR. Nice HUD though.

Not pedantic, it's clearly not AR.

At least not in a world marketers haven't completely taken over, where words still have meaning.

what does "augmented" mean to you?

to me, listening to a podcast while driving is probably augmented reality, and that has nothing to do with driving or the route I'm taking.

this does augment the activity intended.

From the first sentence of Wikipedia:

> Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information

I agree in that there needs to be some interaction between real-world objects and virtual ones to be considered more than a simple HUD.

I mean if that's the definition of augmented reality - wouldn't literally all glasses be augmented reality since they either tint or do something to distort your vision?
