Raspberry Pi

We use a Raspberry Pi as the main processor and board.

Raspberry Pis are equipped with almost everything an XR headset needs:

  • MIPI camera interface (CSI)
  • IMU Slot / GPIO
  • Debian Linux
  • VideoCore low-power mobile multimedia processors
    • Hardware Accelerated Video Encoding/Decoding
    • OpenGL support
  • WiFi & Ethernet
  • HDMI output
  • Bluetooth
  • USB ports to support peripheral devices
  • Low-power consumption

We do not enforce users on a specific model. You may use the following:

  • Zero: W / 2 W
  • 3: B / B+ / A+
  • 4: B

We tested with Zero W and 3B+.

We recommend:

  • using a model with multiple cores (i.e. not Zero W) and higher clock frequencies,
  • using the official charger & cable if working with an AC power plug.
