I mean if that's the definition of augmented reality - wouldn't literally all glasses be augmented reality since they either tint or do something to distort your vision?

To put oil on the fire, there is the same debate about cyborgs: glasses are a mechanical enhancement of the human body, so technically…

Less controversially, hearing aids and HDR goggles would also fit the bill.

Shoes, hats, many kinds of clothes are mechanical enhancements. Gloves for working without hurting one's hands, etc. All those things give a definite advantage over unprotected skin. I don't even start listing tools, which glasses are.

Would a chicken be a human since it's a walking biped?
