Eyewear experience hub for network resource optimization
An electronic eyewear device communicates with a backend service system via a device hub that provides an edge proxy server for a service request from the electronic eyewear device to the backend service system. The device hub provides a standardized request/response optimized schema for providing a standardized communication between the electronic eyewear device and the backend service system in response to the service request in a standardized format adapted to minimize network requests.
