Intermediary device for offloading processing operations for an artificial-reality system and for enabling interactions and input paradigms, and systems and methods of use thereof

A method comprising:

• while a handheld intermediary processing device and a head-wearable device are communicatively coupled and share operational data for performing one or more computational tasks:
• identifying one or more back-end tasks and one or more front-end tasks associated with performing the one or more computational tasks;
• causing performance of the one or more back-end tasks at the handheld intermediary processing device including updating the operational data to create updated operational data;
• and
• causing performance of the one or more front-end tasks at the head-wearable device using the updated operational data such that a representation based on the one or more computational tasks is presented to a user by the head-wearable device.

A system that includes:

• a handheld intermediary processing device;
• a head-wearable device;
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in memory and configured to be executed by one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
