- Aria Gen 2 glasses from Meta are on the way
- They provide major batteries and sensors upgrades
- These upgrades could tease improvements for META consumer specifications
Meta has just launched new AI smart glasses: Aria Gen 2. The bad news is that you will probably not have a pair unless you are an AI or robotics researcher, but the good news is that the upgrades that boast could tease the updates that we can expect to see from its new generation consumption specifications. At least, that’s what I hope.
ARIA is the AI Line of META researchers used by researchers to help them improve their own hardware and software development, the glasses being equipped with all kinds of sensors lacked Meta consumer specifications. Aria Gen 2 has eye tracking cameras, a barometer, a PPG sensor to measure the heart rate and a contact microphone to distinguish the carrier’s voice from that of passers-by to name just a few.
The PPG and the contact microphone are new in Aria Gen 2, and these are two sensors that I could see the specifications of new generation consumers of Meta. Ray -Ban meta -lunes are already very good at picking up when I speak to them – I was on vacation with them recently and even in a crowded space with a crowd around me, they could pick up and answer my questions about the Colosseum of Rome – but also a better voice detection would not be a bad thing
Meanwhile, a heart rate sensor would be an ideal inclusion in rumor that the meta of Smart Methes glasses would be, which are intended for athletes. Meta’s existing specifications do not seem to focus on the super athlete in terms of hardware or software, and it would be an immediate remedy for this problem.
A big boost
Aside from the sensors, the biggest advantage of Aria Gen 2 is that the glasses are apparently capable of six to eight hours of continuous use, which is at least four times longer than the hours and a half that you could expect from Aria Gen 1.
I do not expect the same degree of improvement in the life of the batteries of Meta consumption specifications (partly because the design of ARIA is generally larger, allowing a function on a fashion approach, such as larger heavier batteries), but even some of its arria battery improvements can make other meta glasses.
The model without current display lasts only three hours of use, and I could see the version equipped with the display lack collapse much faster. But with certain battery upgrades borrowed from Aria Gen 2, the new meta glasses with a screen could maintain the three -hour battery life at which we used.
Finally, Meta says her Aria glasses pack the comedid speakers from open ear. Meta -scratches can disclose a good amount of audio, so an improved design would be excellent for privacy – and better speakers in general would make them more competent helmet alternatives.
We will have to wait and see what Meta reserves us if and when her next smart glasses are launching. There is of course no guarantee that one of these Aria upgrades will arrive at the specifications of Meta consumers, but I will make my fingers cross at Meta Connect 2025 in September, we will see at least one couple going to new smart glasses.
