The quality information may be specific to individual user devices rendering virtual content specified with respect to the shared map.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a user's IPD are described. A first stimulus is displayed on a first display, and a second stimulus is displayed on a second display. A stimulus separation distance is a distance that exists between the first and second stimuli. The stimulus separation distance is progressively increased by progressively moving, in opposing directions relative to one another, the first and second stimuli. While that distance is being progressively increased, at least one of the user's eyes is tracked. While the distance is being progressively increased, a change in a rate of eye movement for the user's eye is detected. When the change is detected, a value for the stimulus separation distance is recorded. The recorded value is set as a baseline for the user's IPD.

Abstract: Devices and methods for dynamic power configuration (e.g., reduction) for thermal management (e.g., mitigation) in a wearable electronic device such as an eyewear device. The wearable electronic device monitors its temperature and, responsive to the temperature, configures the services it provides to operate in different modes for thermal mitigation (e.g., to prevent overheating). For example, based on temperature, the wearable electronic device adjusts sensors (e.g., turns cameras on or off, changes the sampling rate, or a combination thereof) and adjusts display components (e.g., adjusted rate at which a graphical processing unit generates images and a visual display is updated). This enables the wearable electronic device to consume less power when temperatures are too high in order to provide thermal mitigation.
