Methods and apparatus are provided for 6DoF inside-out tracking game control. In one novel aspect, a multi-processor architecture is used for VI-SLAM. In one embodiment, the apparatus obtains overlapping image frames and sensor inputs of an apparatus, wherein the sensor inputs comprise gyrometer data, accelerometer data and magnetometer data, splits computation work onto a plurality of vector processors to obtain six degree of freedom (6DoF) outputs of the apparatus based on a splitting algorithm, and performs a localization process to generate 6DoF estimations, and a mapping process to generate a cloud of three-dimensional points associated to the descriptors of the map. In one embodiment, the localization process and mapping process are configured to run sequentially. In another embodiment, the localization process and mapping process are configured to run in parallel.
