Project Aria Recording Profiles
Project Aria glasses have multiple recording profiles that enable users to choose what sensors to record with and what settings to use. Aria glasses currently support 17 different recording profiles, which vary by:
- Sub-selection of sensor streams
- RGB and ET (Eye Tracking) camera resolution
- Mono Scene (often, but not exclusively used for SLAM), RGB and ET camera frame rate and auto-exposure settings
- Image stream format
- Number of audio channels: all (7) v.s. stereo(2)
The table below provides a detailed spec of each profile we currently support. We add new profiles when necessary.
If you are a research partner with access to the ARK, you can also find details of each recording profile using the Mobile Companion app. Within the Mobile app you can also configure a custom recording profile.
If you would like a quick guide about how some recording profiles are used, as well as which ones are compatible with Machine Perception Services, go to the Recording Profile Guide.

Recording profiles 26-29 are experimental and may change.
The Decimated JPEG outputs for profile29 means that 9 out 10 JPEG frames are skipped, creating an equivalent frame rate of 0.1FPS. The aim is to create a recording profile that can support 15+ recording hours.
