1. A system that comprises:
a head-mounted device (HMD) configured to capture camera images, and to display content, wherein at least some of the content is virtual content; and
an electronic device in communication with the HMD via a wireless communication channel, configured to
perform image processing operations comprising one or more image processing algorithms applied to camera images received from the HMD, and to convey processed data to the HMD for display of the content by the HMD,
wherein, in response to a bandwidth condition of the wireless communication channel being less than a threshold, an operation of the HMD is adjusted to perform first adjusted image processing on the camera images, and the image processing operations of the electronic device are adjusted to reduce an amount of image processing operations performed by the electronic device,
wherein an amount of content data conveyed by the electronic device to the HMD via the wireless communication channel is reduced in accordance with the adjusted operation of the HMD and the adjusted operation of the electronic device.
