I don't think you'll ever be able to. Maybe not for decades for AR/VR. The AI stuff is cool; you can offload that, but mostly they'll just be a glorified camera mount and headphones for the actual 'glasses.'


Your comment won't age well.


Guess we'll see in a few decades.

People thought VR was on the brink of mass market breakthrough in the 90s too.


Intels next gen iGPU has has similar benchmarks to a 3080. Compute is still scaling incredibly quickly. I think the optical problem will end up taking much longer than compute.


You already can in something the size of an old cassette walkman, run an extra flexible USB c cable to the glasses or something and problem solved


(phones are an obvious choice but I suspect you could jam significantly more power into the same form factor if you didn't need screen, speakers, mobile modem etc)


The offloading is easy, I don't think the optical aspects of breakthrough VR/AR will be overcome for quite a while.
