14.1 A 126.1mW real time natural UI/UX processor with embedded deep learning core for low power smart glasses
This paper presents a low power natural UI/UX processor with an embedded deep learning core (NINEX) to provide wearable AR for HMD users without calibration. A low power and real time natural UI/UX processor is fabricated using 65nm 8 metal CMOS technology, integrating 4.8M equivalent gates and 390KB SRAM for wearable AR. It consumes 126.1mW at 200 MHz, 1.2V. The NINEX handles the overall HMD UI/UX functionality (from pre processing to graphics) and achieves 56.5% higher power efficiency vs. the latest HMD processor. It achieves 68.1% higher power efficiency and 2% higher gesture and speech recognition accuracy over a best in class pattern recognition processor.
