1. A device coupled to an augmented reality environment, the device comprising: a processor; a memory coupled to the processor; a network adapter; an internal task resource capable of processing tasks without receiving data via the network adapter; and an augmented reality application stored in the memory and comprising: an application module configured to identify one or more tasks based at least in part on input detected by an augmented reality node based on verbal or physical interaction within an augmented reality environment; a task analysis module configured to determine one or more security parameters that govern which resources are eligible for processing of the one or more tasks; a task distribution module configured to: identify, from a collection of resources, task resources capable of processing at least some of the one or more tasks, the task resources including (i) the internal task resource and (ii) external task resources in communication with the device via the network adapter; access resource availability data for at least some of the task resources; determine available task resources from the task resources based at least in part on comparing the one or more security parameters of the one or more tasks with the resource availability data associated with the task resources; assign a task of the one or more tasks to a first task resource of the available task resources, the first task resource being the internal task resource and the first task resource processing the task using a first algorithm and first reference data to generate a first textual result; and assign the task to a second task resource of the available task resources, the second task resource being accessible via the network adapter of the device, the second task resource processing the task using a second algorithm and second reference data while using same input data as the first task resource to generate a second textual result; and a task disbursement interface module configured to disburse the task to the first task resource and the second task resource and receive the first textual result and the second textual result from the first task resource and the second task resource, at least one of the first textual result or the second textual result being used to modify the augmented reality environment, wherein the task of the one or more tasks is processed in parallel by the first task resource and the second task resource.
