1. Eyewear, comprising:
a frame having a first side and a second side;
a plurality of electronic components;
a first system on a chip (SoC) adjacent the first side of the frame, the first SoC coupled to a first set of the plurality of electronic components; and
a second SoC adjacent the second side, the second SoC coupled to the first SoC and to a second set of the plurality of electronic components, wherein the second set of the plurality of electronic components comprises a first computer vision (CV) camera and a second CV camera each configured to generate images;
wherein the second SoC is configured as a sensor hub configured to perform all CV processing for the first and the second CV cameras, machine learning (ML), and processing video encoding; and
wherein the first SoC is configured to run application logic, audio and video rendering functions, and wireless communications where the images genera ted by the CV cameras of the second SoC are prevented from being sent by the wireless communications.
