Meta today revealed its next-gen smart glasses, Aria Gen 2, which the company intends to release to third-party researchers working on machine perception systems, AI and robotics.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The company revealed its\u00a0first iteration of Project Aria<\/a> back in 2020, showing off a sensor-rich pair of glasses which the company used internally to train its machine perception systems, ultimately tackling some of the most complex issues in creating practical, all-day augmented reality glasses of the future.<\/p>\n

Since then, Meta\u2019s first-gen Aria has found its way outside of company offices; early collaborations with BMW and a number of universities<\/a> followed, including\u00a0Carnegie Mellon,\u00a0IIIT Hyderabad, University of Bristol, and University of Iowa,\u00a0which used the smart glasses to tackle the a host of machine perception challenges.<\/p>\n

Now, Meta has revealed Aria Gen 2. Like the first-gen device, Gen 2 doesn\u2019t include displays of any type, though it now houses an upgraded sensor suite, including an RGB camera, position-tracking cameras, eye-tracking cameras, spatial microphones, IMUs, barometer, magnetometer, GNSS, and custom Meta silicon.<\/p>\n
