If it can do innside out tracking its way more data efficent to have compute onboard. And if you already have a decent amount of compute you can scale it up just a little more to have. a fully standalone unit.
- Apes 19d agoI'm not sure going from less than $50 of RAM and a $50 processor for foveated eye tracking to 16 GiB of RAM ($300) and a Snapdragon 8 ($200) is a "slight bump".
- gunalx 19d agoWait I don't realise ram prices where this bad. Bought my kit for about a tenth of that a while ago. Ouch.
- m4rtink 19d agoYeah, can't wait for the AI hype bubble to finally end. Hey, we might even get some nice fast repurposed HBM from the scrappers reusing stuff from the bankruptcy auctions. :)
- hgoel 19d agoFoveated eye tracking, but also SLAM for the controllers. Also, to be fair, the onboard processing costs less than a separate VR capable PC.
- account42 19d agoThe onboard processing costs a whole lot more than a PC you already have.
- asadotzler 19d agocompute is fine. its necessary battery is not. compute is almost weightless, battery crushes heads.
- account42 19d agoEven with some compute on board you could save most of the additional weight by making it tethered.
