FPGA power consumption

[Phil Hobbs]

A client of mine is trying to build head mounted displays for the DARPA
SCENICC program.

It is of course insanely ambitious--eye-resolution-limited imaging over
the full visual field at 60 fps or so. It also has insanely ambitious
SWaP (size, weight, and power) goals: 250 grams including battery,
eyeglass or goggle form, power dissipation < 1W.

To try to make a sizing for that power dissipation, could you digital
folks give me an idea of how much computing power I can get for, say,
half a watt?

Thanks
