Seems Apple solved monocular SLAM problem before attempting VR.

Wonder if they used FPGA or anything to speed up the algorithm? In my experience SLAM takes too much computation power and/or release too much heat.

Basic monocular SLAM has been solved for a while on mobile devices. ARKit, Facebook, and Magic Leap are just very careful to show only demos where the SLAM works well for that case.

Detailed monocular SLAM needs a lot of CPU, but that is changing...

SLAM?
