That looks a lot more like a heads-up-display than AR.

Depending on how you spin it, the GogglePal and similar HUDs can be considered Augmented Reality devices. At the very least, that's how the general public and AR developers alike are defining them as. I could see enterprise AR steering away from HUDs, but I can see consumer AR devices remaining mainly HUD-based...

That's just it - spin. It's like they're jumping on the latest buzzword, even though the device doesn't seem to understand much about your surroundings or embed anything convincingly within them.

It doesn't really matter, I guess, as long as people understand what they're getting. Technology products have been over-hyped for as long as they've existed.

It seems pretty reasonably priced, for what it actually does.
