OUR APPROACH

Project Aria helps researchers explore the future of AR and AI, before devices are mature

Project Aria is a research program from Meta Reality Labs Research that helps researchers understand the technical and non-technical challenges for building AR and AI devices.

In time, AR and AI technologies will empower us to achieve our goals via natural interfaces that understad our physical and digital worlds. By partnering with research institutions around the world, publishing research, and making resources openly available, we believe we can make this future a reality, responsibly.
