What's the difference between Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality?

Is there a difference between Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality? Well, yes and no.

The term "Windows Mixed Reality" is exciting and different, but it's a challenging thing to define in simple terms to someone who isn't already paying close attention to what Microsoft is doing with this technology. We already have Virtual Reality, a system where you put a headset on and replace the real world with a totally different one. It's clear by seeing Microsoft's work with Hololens that Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality aren't the same thing. What about Augmented Reality, though? We're starting to hear more about Augmented Reality from Apple and Google as this thing you use to add things to the real world by looking through a display, and that sounds an awful lot like Hololens without the helmet.

Here's where Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality differ, and why that difference is important to define sooner rather than later.
