> It can be seen from the video (from the way they avoid it) that the "augmentation" is always superimposed on the "reality".

I think you mean “inferred” rather than “seen”, if it is an assumption based on avoidance, and there are other explanations; while HoloLens is better equipped than phone-holder software AR to avoid this, the one time I did get to use one there were some glitches when the “augmentation” should be obscured y the “reality”. If ARCore handles that, in principle, but is currently annoyingly glitchy in practice on its current preview-quality state, you might reasonably avoid it in demos.



In live demos yes, but you would totally want to show it in a pre-recorded demo like this one.


Not if it was glitchy enough that you couldn't reliably get a good take.

Either “doesn’t have that feature” or “feature is currently in poor state to demonstrate” are reasons to avoid demoing it.


You don't need to reliably get a good take to produce a video; you need one good take.

If it's bad enough that it won't look right even after taking the best of a large number of attempts, that's as good as the feature not existing for the purpose of my question.
