Project Aria is the world’s most advanced device for egocentric research with applications in augmented reality, contextual AI, and robotics. Aria is worn like a regular pair of glasses and is packed with sensors that capture egocentric video, audio, inertial data, and more.
Project Aria can produce detailed information about the wearer’s gaze, their precise position and trajectory, their hand pose, and information about the surrounding environment.

In 2022, we hosted our first Project Aria tutorial at CVPR, where we invited attendees to participate in the Project Aria academic program by applying for the Aria Research Kit, which includes Aria glasses and tools for developing open-source datasets and real-time prototypes.

Since the tutorial debut, it has nearly doubled in attendance year-over-year, now with over 250 research labs using over 1,000 Aria devices throughout the world, having produced highly detailed egocentric datasets and developed new methods for topics such as a robotics imitation learning.

This year, we will continue sharing insights and resources with the research community with the fourth Hands-on Egocentric Research Tutorial with Project Aria. We will share updates on our forthcoming release of Aria Gen 2 glasses, including a live demo.We will feature research that Meta has recently completed with Aria and that some of our partners have completed with Aria.

Looking forward to another outstanding tutorial with the ICCV community.
