Foveal tracking and other functions can require intensive high-speed processing in small form factors. Additionally, the inclusion of numerous sensors and cameras compounds the need for ultrahigh- bandwidth data requirements and intuitive user controls. These challenges pose a significant hurdle for existing hardware architectures to meet the demands of low power consumption, low thermal budget, low latency, ease of use, and long battery life products.
