Aria Data Tools Case Study

Problem​

In 2022 Project Aria was preparing to announce its first ever open data release with accompanying C++ and Python tooling. We had no idea how this project would be received and we had a very small team.

Actions​

Given how busy our engineers were, I took on creating our static website (powered by Docusaurus), as well as taking an extremely active role putting together the documentation. Having only been in the role for a month, and never having created a static website before, I quickly leveled up and produced high quality content. I used PRDs, instructions to data collectors and various specs to identify documentation needs and drive documentation creation.

Outcomes​

The open data release was extremely successful and helped inspire many future releases. The documentation was so clear that we did not need to publish a supporting research paper. Everything people needed was in the website.

Aria Data Tools helped pave the way for Project Aria's even more ambitious project Project Aria Docs.
