Aria Gen 2
Product Launch & Case Study Videos
Seven years into our partnership with Meta Reality Labs, we produced the launch suite for Aria Gen 2: the most advanced research glasses ever made. Interviews, original 3D renderings, and a cinematic hero film built for the researchers, developers, and academic partners pushing AI and AR forward. We were also invited to collaborate on a real-world case study spotlighting the glasses' spatial audio navigation system.
Inside the hardware
We built original exploded 3D renderings from CAD files, translating the full sensor suite into something researchers can immediately read.
SAND Case Study
The second production took us into a working grocery store. Meta, Envision, and Lighthouse San Francisco spent months co-developing a spatial audio navigation application for blind and low-vision users.
The technology solves what the team calls the "final 50 feet" problem, guiding users precisely through indoor spaces where GPS falls short.
We shot the SAND film in a vérité style, following Sharon through the store as she used the system on camera.
