Meta’s new AR glasses for research can measure heart rate


Meta has unveiled the next generation of its Project Aria augmented reality glasses for research: Aria Gen 2.

Aria Gen 2 has a PPG sensor for measuring heart rate and a contact microphone to distinguish the wearer’s voice from that of bystanders. Meta plans to make the glasses available to academic and commercial research labs in the coming months. One early tester, Envision, is piloting Aria Gen 2 to create solutions for people who are blind or have low vision, Meta said in a blog post.
