Meta is testing how AI-powered glasses could assist people with memory loss, using its Aria Gen 2 research glasses in collaboration with a veterans nonprofit. The project focuses on hands-free reminders, contextual recall, and helping users stay oriented throughout the day.
The work uses Meta’s Aria Gen 2 platform, a research-focused wearable currently available to labs and partners. Insights from these trials are intended to help guide the development of future AI wearables.
Meta is exploring how wearables could act as cognitive assistants, supporting memory, focus, and everyday independence. Smart glasses may be evolving from novelty devices into more practical tools designed for everyday use, moving beyond simple social features and cameras.
