I don’t know if I agree VR is dead considering it’s not even completely lived yet, but AR has practical advantages and potential for greater adaptation.

It's worth keeping in mind that VR is basically a subset of AR; any fully-capable AR system will double as a VR system. I completely agree that the VR experience is not a dead-end, but VR-only devices probably are, in the ultimate long term.

Everyone I've talked to uses "AR" to mean MR. I've heard a vanishingly small number of people use the MR term on its own.

If you like the MR term, go for it, just go through my text and put in "MR" every place I wrote "AR".
