Interesting point. I'm not sure what the actual definition of AR is, but the article seems to assume the same definition that several others did, including myself:

I think this is part of the reason I've been seeing the phrase "mixed reality" be used to refer to what was previously AR.

edit: correct mixed relative to mixed reality. brane fart.

The specific term for this AR technique is "image overlay".
