Rokid Glasses

Overview

Rokid Glasses are lightweight AI and AR smart glasses developed by Rokid in collaboration with eyewear brand Bolon. Unlike audio-only camera glasses, Rokid Glasses embed a binocular green Micro-LED waveguide heads-up display directly into both lenses while keeping the frame weight down to 49 g. Priced around $699 (with a camera-only non-display sibling, Rokid AI Glasses Style, sold for $329–$399), the glasses have expanded across Asia-Pacific and global channels, including Rokid's unmanned self-service AI glasses store at Hong Kong's Harbour City.

Display and optics

Dual green Micro-LED micro-projectors drive diffractive waveguide optics built into both lenses, placing floating text, icons and navigation arrows in front of the wearer's eyes. Because the waveguide is monochrome green with high luminance, notifications, live subtitles and teleprompter scripts remain legible outdoors without blocking your view of the real world. Frame inserts and custom lenses support myopia and hyperopia prescriptions from -15.0D to +15.0D.

Camera, audio and hardware

A 12MP first-person camera sits on the upper corner of the frame for hands-free photos, vertical video capture and visual AI lookups. The glasses run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon AR1 platform paired with directional open-ear speakers in the temples and a multi-microphone array with noise reduction. The 49 g frame charges via a magnetic pogo-pin cradle inside a portable charging case.

Software and AI features

Saying "Hi Rokid" or tapping the temple touchpad wakes the onboard AI assistant. Key workflows include real-time face-to-face translation subtitles across more than 40 languages, a scrolling teleprompter for speeches and videos, turn-by-turn walking and cycling directions, voice memo transcription and visual object recognition through the 12MP camera. Developers can also build custom applets through Rokid's global AIUI Studio environment.

Who it is for

Rokid Glasses suit travelers, presenters and everyday wearers who want both a first-person camera and an in-lens heads-up display for live translation and teleprompting without carrying a 75-gram full-color AR frame. Buyers who prefer a full-color HUD with wrist-gesture control should compare Meta's Ray-Ban Display or the RayNeo X3 Pro.
