Abstract: Techniques are described for reconciling events timestamped in different time domains in multi-node systems supporting low-latency hardware timestamping. First and second nodes having independent time bases are synchronized by the first node generating an event that is received effectively simultaneously at the first and second nodes, the first and second nodes recording a timestamp of receipt of the event, the first node asynchronously querying the second node for its timestamp of receipt of the event and comparing its timestamp of receipt of the event with the timestamp of receipt of the event by the second node, and the first node using a difference in the timestamps of receipt of the event by the first and second nodes to align the time bases of the first and second nodes. The nodes may include hardware timestamping functionality or use an external component (e.g., field programmable gate array) to provide the timestamping functionality.

Abstract: Eyewear including a frame having a first side and a second side, a first temple extending from the first side of the frame, a second temple extending from the second side of the frame, electronic components, a first system on a chip (SoC) adjacent the first side of the frame coupled to a first set of the electronic components, and a second system on a chip adjacent the second side, the second SoC coupled to the first SoC and to a second set of the plurality of electronic components. Processing workloads are balanced between the first SoC and the second SoC by performing a first set of operations with the first SoC and performing a second set of operations with the second SoC.

Abstract: Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for presenting a virtual experience using the display of an eyewear device in augmented reality. A content delivery application implements and controls the detecting of beacons broadcast from beacon transmitters deployed at fixed locations and determining the current eyewear location based on the detected beacons. The method includes retrieving content and presenting a virtual experience based on the retrieved content, the beacon data, and a user profile. The virtual experience includes playing audio messages, presenting text on the display, playing video segments on the display, and combinations thereof. In addition to wireless detection of beacons, the method includes scanning and decoding a beacon activation code positioned near the beacon transmitter to access a beacon.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media. for reducing latency in augmented reality displays. A display controller receives, from a GPU, a stream of image pixels of a frame of virtual content to be presented on a display of a display device. The stream of image pixels is received via a high-speed bulk interface that transfers data at least as fast as can be consumed by the display. As the stream of image pixel is received, the display controller converts each respective image pixel from a data format used to transmit the stream of image pixels via the high-speed bulk interface to a data format that is compatible for display by the display. Each converted image pixel is stored in a pixel cell of the display, after which the frame is presented on the display.
