    Abstract: A method for managing power resource in an augmented reality (AR) device is described. In one aspect, the method includes configuring a low-power mode to run on a low-power processor of the AR device using a first set of sensor data, and a high-power mode to run on a high-power processor of the AR device using a second set of sensor data, operating, using the low-power processor, a low-power application in the low-power mode based on the first set of sensor data, detecting a request to operate a high-power application at the AR device, in response to detecting the request, activating the second set of sensors of the AR device corresponding to the high-power mode, and operating, using the high-power processor, a high-power application in the high-power mode based on the second set of sensors.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for performing operations for estimating power usage of an AR experience. The operations include: accessing resource utilization data associated with execution of an augmented reality (AR) experience; applying a machine learning technique to the resource utilization data to estimate power consumption of the AR experience, the machine learning technique being trained to establish a relationship between a plurality of training resource utilization data associated with training AR experiences and corresponding ground-truth power consumption of the training AR experiences; and adjusting one or more operations of the AR experience to reduce power consumption based on the estimated power consumption of the AR experience.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for power and temperature attribution on mobile devices. Example methods include granting a request for a resource, estimating an energy usage used by the resource for the application, where the estimating is based on a resource utilization and a resource usage duration, and in response to the power usage transgressing a power usage budget for the application, throttling the power usage of the application. The application may provide a module to be called for the application to reduce its power usage or temperature generation. The mobile device provides the application with the temperature generation and power usage of the application on a per resource used basis. The mobile device determines the power usage and the temperature generation of the resources of the mobile device. In some examples, the mobile device is an augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), or mixed reality (MR) head-wearable device.

    Abstract: Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for curating and presenting a contextual overlay that includes graphical elements and virtual elements in an augmented reality experience. A contextual overlay application implements and controls the capturing of frames of video data within a field of view of the camera. The image processing system detects, in the captured frames of video data, one or more food items in the physical environment. Detecting food items may involve computer vision and machine-trained classification models. The method includes retrieving data associated with the detected food item, curating a contextual overlay based on the retrieved data and a configurable profile, and presenting the contextual overlay on the display.
