Extended reality (xr) device thermal load management

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable storage media collectively storing program instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
• receiving thermal data associated with an extended reality (XR) device;
• determining that a condition is met for offloading a thermal load of the XR device;
• identifying one or more edge processing devices within an environment of the XR device;
• selecting at least one edge processing device of the one or more edge processing devices with sufficient computing resources for balancing the thermal load of the XR device;
• and
• instructing the XR device to offload the thermal load to the selected at least one edge processing device.

A computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising instructions configured to cause one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• receiving thermal data associated with an extended reality (XR) device;
• determining that a condition is met for offloading a thermal load of the XR device;
• identifying one or more edge processing devices within an environment of the XR device;
• selecting at least one edge processing device of the one or more edge processing devices with sufficient computing resources for balancing the thermal load of the XR device;
• and
• instructing the XR device to offload the thermal load to the selected at least one edge processing device.
