Project Aria Tools

Overview

Project Aria Tools provides open source Python and C++ code and APIs for working with Aria data. Due to the multimodal nature of Project Aria data, the data is stored in VRS files. Project Aria Tools provides API wrappers for using VRS tools, specifically tailored to working with Aria data. Using Project Aria Tools should make it easier to plug your data into other applications with more accessible formatting and labeling.

If there are VRS functions you wish Project Aria Tools had, please contact us using any of our Support Channels.
