Project Aria Gen 2, from Meta, is the newest research glasses with advanced sensors (RGB, SLAM, eye tracking, PPG, contact mic) and on-device AI processing. For research now.
Check out Project Aria Gen 2, the next generation of research glasses from Meta Reality Labs and FAIR AI lab! This is a specialized device built to push the boundaries of egocentric AI, machine perception, and robotics research.
It builds upon the first-gen, with the new gen introducing innovative sensors like a PPG sensor (for heart rate) and a contact microphone (for clearer voice capture).
This is a research device for now, but think of it as laying the groundwork for future consumer-level AR glasses, like Orion. And with all this advanced tech becoming available, we'll likely see a lot of new AR/AI applications being developed.
Congrats on the launch of Project Aria Gen 2! Pushing the boundaries of egocentric AI and machine perception is exciting, and the addition of new sensors makes this a big step forward. It’s fascinating to see how this research lays the groundwork for the future of AR.
I’m launching today as well, so I really appreciate the effort behind bringing something innovative to market. Wishing you and the team great success!

These developments open up so many possibilities for both the research and future consumer AR experiences.
Congrats on the launch! Best wishes and sending lots of wins :)
Love the sleek design of Aria Gen 2! Quick question - how's the comfort level for extended wear? I'm a bit concerned about the weight and whether it might get tiring after a few hours of use. Would love to hear some real-world experiences! 🤓
