Abstract

Eyewear devices that include two SoCs that share processing workload. Instead of using a single SoC located either on the left or right side of the eyewear devices, the two SoCs have different assigned responsibilities to operate different devices and perform different processes to balance workload. In one example, the eyewear device utilizes a first SoC to operate the OS, a first color camera, a second color camera, a first display, and a second display. A second SoC is configured to run computer vision (CV) algorithms, visual odometry (VIO), tracking hand gestures of the user, and providing depth from stereo. This configuration provides organized logistics to efficiently operate various features, and balanced power consumption.
