    How is augmented reality different from mixed reality? Genuine question. They sound like the same thing.

      I believe AR overlays information about the real world where as mixed reality just shows you the real world with a few apps floating about

        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.
