1. A mobile device, comprising:
a display;
a first camera;
a second camera oriented differently than the first camera;
a wireless transceiver adapted to communicate with an electronic device via a wireless communication channel; and
control circuitry coupled to the display, first and second cameras, and the wireless transceiver, the control circuitry being configured to:
obtain one or more content primitives from the first camera and the second camera,
perform content provisioning operations to obtain content based at least in part on the one or more content primitives,
cause the wireless transceiver to communicate the one or more content primitives to the electronic device via the wireless communication channel,
receive, from the electronic device, processed content that supplements the content provisioning operations, the processed content being based on the one or more content primitives communicated by the mobile device via the wireless communication channel, and
display the obtained content on the display, wherein at least some of the displayed content is virtual content,
wherein, in response to a bandwidth condition of the wireless communication channel as less than a threshold, the control circuitry is configured to perform adjusted content provisioning operations that involve decreasing an amount of the one or more content primitives transferred to and related processed content received back from the electronic device via the wireless communication channel to obtain the content, and increasing an amount of image processing operations performed by the mobile device to obtain the content.
