Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for implementing a mixed reality system with less power. In some examples, a passive state of the mixed reality system can have a GPU render predictable content that does not need to be processed by a CPU. In such examples, the predictable content can be identified and rendered by the GPU while the CPU is in a low-power mode. Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure provide benefits not available with conventional techniques because a CPU may consume more power than a corresponding GPU. In some examples, the passive state can take advantage of the fact that predictable content can be identified and rendered without the use of the CPU. In such examples, the passive state can render predictable content that does not need to be processed by the CPU.
