Meta Unveils Ar Glasses for Research with Heart Rate Measurement Capability
Meta has unveiled the next generation of its Project Aria augmented reality glasses for research: Aria Gen 2. Aria Gen 2, which arrives roughly five years after the first-generation Aria device, adds new capabilities to the platform, including an upgraded sensor suite and Meta’s custom silicon. The glasses have a PPG sensor for measuring heart rate and a contact microphone to distinguish the wearer’s voice from that of bystanders.
- This breakthrough technology has the potential to revolutionize assistive technologies for individuals with visual impairments, offering new avenues for innovative solutions.
- As AI-powered AR glasses become more widespread in research settings, will they also be accessible to the general public, raising questions about data privacy and security?
