Bing and Maps Augmented Reality?

At TED2010, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, the leading developer of Bing Maps present the novelties of the online mapping service from Microsoft.
The presentation begins with the integration of panoramic images in Bing Maps and connections with the Flickr service, it also highlights the introduction of lifting systems mapped onto images to give the illusion of 3D and a path no longer realistic in the streets of major cities.
But the most interesting point of his presentation is when it connects with friends on a market via a 4G network. It can see evolve through one of his accomplices who filmed the event. This is a double innovation: the integration of video images, and pressed on the possibility of change live person via a telephone network, with friends (away from the conventional benchmarks incorporating flow live cam).
This demonstration made a great impression and the title of the article published on TED is translated into French: "Blaise Aguera y Arcas demonstrates how augmented reality mapping transforms." The term augmented reality is taken into the body of the video by the chief architect Bing Maps. However, are we faced with the augmented reality? As the highlight of images has been presented as an immersion in the 3D integration of live video in Bing Maps does not appear to be augmented reality. Indeed, it involves just a sensitive area on which we just file information virtualized creating an in-between between real and virtual, as shown in the ticket Jeremy Valentin on his blog: Augmented Reality and mapping
The present demonstration suggests rather the opposite: it is the reality of that comes directly immersed in the virtuality of the online mapping. What is not without significantly alter the vision of online mapping: in fact, using these techniques, there is a view increasingly realistic space experience. In addition, it involves people, real knowledge, a kind of intimacy of the space shared with one or more members of a community of a circle of friends, a social network. This technological achievement is rooted in two different spatial planes but assembled here: the lived space via video in real time and shared space in the privacy of their personal or professional relationships.
However, this does not mention the augmented reality. So, what to call this mode of operation of virtual tours? The augmented virtuality? :-)
