Meta’s got a pair of smart glasses that are so packed with bleeding edge tech, they truly deserve the “smart” moniker.
Announced earlier this year, the Aria Gen 2 are Meta’s “research glasses,” meaning they probably won’t be available to the general public any time soon. However, the technologies used will probably bleed into Meta’s other projects like Orion. In a new blog post Wednesday, Meta revealed some of the capabilities it managed to build into these fairly regular-looking glasses.

The Aria Gen 2 glasses are equipped with an array of cameras, including one for eye-tracking and four computer vision cameras, seven spatial mics, a barrage of sensors including an ambient light sensor, a barometer, a heart rate monitor, and stereo speakers. The glasses themselves are fairly lightweight, weighing 74 to 76 grams, depending on size.
