Abstract
Systems, apparatus, and methods for a gesture-based augmented reality and/or extended reality (AR/XR) user interface. Conventional image processing scales quadratically based on image resolution. Processing complexity directly corresponds to memory size, power consumption, and heat dissipation. As a result, existing smart glasses solutions have short run-times (<1 hr) and may have battery weight and heat dissipation issues that are uncomfortable for continuous wear. The disclosed solution provides a system and method for low-power image processing via the use of scalable processing. In one specific implementation, gesture detection is divided into multiple stages. Each stage conditionally enables subsequent stages for more complex processing. By scaling processing complexity at each stage, high complexity processing can be performed on an 'as-needed' basis.
