Actually the upcoming headsets are just VR. There is no headmounted camera to stream the real world nor is it see through. It connects to MS' new mixed reality platform, yet you'll still need a ($3000) hololens to actually get the AR experience.

Those 2 headsets ARE mixed reality ones. They can operate as VR or AR headset. 
They both have 2 sensors (front right and left) and uses the same technology for motion tracking and space recon. than Hololens which offers a real sense pf space and positioning in your room.  

I pre-ordered mine by the way and I have been following this for a while.

I also have an Hololens which is fully unthetered but I think those are still pretty neat (because they can do both and are cheaper) even if the immersion will not be as good as Hololens and holograms. Just because of the black for instance which a problem on Hololens or the fact that you can turn it in real VR headset if needed 

Neat, with all your cool tech toys, you should have a great VR party!

I volunteer to make something tasty.
