Except no? AR is half assed VR that will I repeat, be limited to your household. If you blocked the "augmented" part of AR then what you would get barely qualifies as a virtual reality experience. I don't think a floating menu and a broom disguised as a shovel really simulate any type of reality honestly.
Its actually not even a superset, its a subset. AR=VR(.5)
You don't get the complete virtual experience, you aren't actually experiencing real life, and you're stuck within reach of your console or router. For all that ms promises with ar, it's sounding pretty lame to me. If I'm going to be limited to where the tech works, let it transport me entirely to a different galaxy.
Honestly this is the same exact bullshit we heard with "tHe ClOuDdD". Big fuckin whoop, I'm so impressed by all the progress that has shown (yet it's PlayStation that can now stream entire video games). Before that the kinect was supposed to be a big deal, yet that too was limited and never came close to delivering on its PR speak.

Honest question : How old are you?

Honest answer: I happen to be twenty two.
You keep mentioning how much harder AR will be to execute. How is this a good thing? (You've reiterated this twice as if this was a positive.)
Just because something is harder to achieve or more complex of a solution does not by any indication make it inherently better. In many cases it's quite the opposite thats true.
In any case, AR and VR aren't subsets or supersets of each other. That boils down to the headset and it's capabilities more than anything else, the experience it provides is irrelevant to the point. Otherwise, by your logic reality would be considered a superset of AR which would mean AR is a halfway point between complete VR and real life... So in other words, half assed (by my logic).
