Distributed augmented reality system
First Claim
1. A neckband device comprising:
- a first arm and a second arm coupled together to form a shape such that the neckband device conforms to a neck of a user; and
a plurality of compartments within the neckband device, the plurality of compartments including a battery compartment for a battery that is configured to power an eyewear device and a computation compartment configured to hold a processor that is configured to compute at least one value from a sensor of the eyewear device, and the first arm includes at least one of the plurality of compartments,wherein the neckband device is communicatively coupled with the eyewear device.

Abstract
A distributed augmented reality system for producing rendered environment includes a neckband formed from a first arm, second arm, and computation compartment. A power source is embedded in the first and/or second arm, while a processor is embedded in the computation compartment of the neckband. The neckband may be capable of producing an AR, VR or MR environment, or any combination thereof. The neckband device may be used with a coupled eyewear device system encompassing a Near-Eye Display (NED) and/or secondary user device, which may also produce an AR, VR or MR environment, or any combination thereof. The neckband device may provide power and computation to the eyewear device, allowing for a reduced form factor AR/VR/MR eyewear device.
