VR is not AR.

AR is Google Glass or 3D/Vita/Smartphone demos, only MS wants to provide real world object tracking and placing of computer generated objects in our view [in addition to static Bing-powered HUD stats].

You mean like google's project tango?

Placing of a computer generated object? Isnt that basically AR in our view?

Sony is researching both. They had a presentation a year go showing a vita being used to map objects onto the real world.

Yup, VR and AR are the opposite of each other. AR is bringing digital world into our world while VR is taking you from our world into a digital world that being said, Sony has been at these things for a long time.

Completely unrelated. This probably has more to do with Kinect than with VR.

That or they're being patent trolls. I'd put my money on expanding Kinect gaming, though.

I suspect it's more about bing advertising than anything
