INTRODUCING ARIA GEN 2 GLASSES

The most advanced research glasses ever made

Aria Gen 2 is the next-generation research device in the Project Aria program, designed to advance research for contextual AI and robotics.

Aria Gen 2 glasses expanded to show all the individual sensors. Sensors labeled include ppg microphone in the nose pad, SLAM cameras, contact microphones, and more.

Aria Gen 2 glasses are Meta’s dedicated research tool in an always-on glasses form factor.

With the new state-of-the-art sensor suite in Aria Gen 2, researchers can push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Project Aria helps us build a better understanding of our world, together.
