Just when you were thought you’d figured out the differences between virtual reality, augmented reality, and 360-degree video, it’s time to learn a new phrase: mixed reality.

Samsung announced today that it’s launching a new headset, called Odyssey, for Windows Mixed Reality, Microsoft’s forthcoming platform for a version of virtual reality that can take advantage of the real world around a user. Whereas augmented reality can identify planes, such as walls and floors, mixed reality can recognize what’s happening in the world in greater depth, like the legs on a chair.
