Abstract

Eyewear including a frame having a first side and a second side, a first temple extending from the first side of the frame, a second temple extending from the second side of the frame, electronic components, a first system on a chip (SoC) adjacent the first side of the frame coupled to a first set of the electronic components, and a second system on a chip adjacent the second side, the second SoC coupled to the first SoC and to a second set of the plurality of electronic components. Processing workloads are balanced between the first SoC and the second SoC by performing a first set of operations with the first SoC and performing a second set of operations with the second SoC.

Eyewear, comprising:

a frame having a first side and a second side;
a first temple extending from the first side of the frame;
a second temple extending from the second side of the frame;
a plurality of electronic components;
a first system on a chip (SoC) adjacent the first side of the frame, the first SoC coupled to a first set of the plurality of electronic components;

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for load balancing eyewear device including a frame having a first side and a second side, a first temple extending from the first side of the frame, a second temple extending from the second side of the frame, and a plurality of electronic components, the instructions when executed by the eyewear device configures the eyewear device to:

perform a first set of operations with a first SoC positioned adjacent the first side of the frame, the first SoC coupled to one or more of the plurality of electronic components;
and
perform a second set of operations with a second SoC positioned adjacent the second side of the frame, the second SoC coupled to one or more others of the plurality of electronic components,
wherein the eyewear further comprises first display components adjacent the first side, second display components adjacent the second side, a passive thermal cooling capacity of approximately 2 to 3 Watts adjacent each of the first and second sides and wherein the first set of operations and the second set of operations are each performed using approximately 1.5 Watts or less.
