Dual system on a chip eyewear

Abstract

Eyewear device that includes two SoCs that share processing workload. Instead of using a single SoC located either on the left or right side of the eyewear device, 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 all peripheral components, and a second SoC performing computational tasks. This is a low-risk architecture since the second SoC is not required to operate any of the peripherals, and it has low standby power since the second SoC can be fully shutdown in a low-power mode. The second SoC does not have any direct access to camera data, so an interprocessor communication bus continuously transmits camera buffer data for most augmented reality (AR) compute tasks. This configuration provides organized logistics to efficiently operate various features, and balanced power consumption.
