Stepping back, there are several AR glasses designs including standalone (HoloLens 2) and tethered (Magic Leap 2). For example, the AR2 achieves sub-2 millisecond latency and low power consumption for advanced functions like reprojection. This not only spreads things out but lets each piece of hardware play to its strengths.
