Rokid's new AR smart glasses feature Micro-LED displays, real-time translation, and an integrated camera. The glasses also have AI features and a battery life of up to 8 hours.
Nearly a year after its debut in China, Rokid has decided to bring its AR smart glasses, the Rokid Glasses, to global markets. Touted as the world's lightest camera-equipped smart glasses, Rokid says the Rokid Glasses are designed for both consumer and professional use.
The Rokid Glasses boast features such as real-time translation of up to 89 languages. The glasses will display a translation of written text, and with the integrated speakers, they can also read out loud what they hear, too. The integrated microphones can also pick up conversations and translate them for the user. The Rokid Glasses uses ChatGPT and Microsoft's online translation engine. Rokid also says there's support for offline translation of 5 languages using a proprietary LLM. It can also transcribe conversations during a meeting, and using AI, create a summary.

The Rokid Glasses can be used as a teleprompter, allowing users to ditch speech notes. Another feature is the ability to take down voice notes and reminders. The Rokid Glasses support AR navigation and will display not just directions, but also speed, duration, and arrival time.
Weighing just 48 grams, Rokid says its IPX4-rated smart glasses have a magnesium-aluminium alloy frame and TR90 temples with support for prescription lenses. The Rokid Glasses feature dual monochrome green Micro LED displays with a diffractive optical waveguide. Each display has a 480 x 398 resolution, 1500 nits of brightness, and a 23° Field of view. Users will be able to adjust the text size and brightness of the display.
There's a 12MP f/2.25 Sony IMX681 camera with a 3024 x 4032 resolution and a 109° field of view. A capture button sits on the right temple, and a long-press allows users to switch between video and audio recording. Rokid has included a privacy indicator light to alert people when you are filming. The glasses have two AAC speakers and four microphones with AI noise reduction.
The Rokid Glasses are powered by Qualcomm's AR1 processor which handles general computing and complex tasks while a secondary NXP RT600 chip handles voice recognition and low-power tasks. There's 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, Bluetooth 5.3, and Wi-Fi 6. The Rokid Glasses works with a companion app on your mobile phone. Users will be able to adjust various settings within the app, access recorded and captured content, and also update the glasses.

The smart glasses are equipped with a 210mAh battery capacity, and while they have a proprietary charger with support for fast charging (80% in 20 minutes), there's an optional case with a 3,000mAh battery that holds up to 10 full recharges. Rokid says the glasses should provide up to 10 hours of mixed use but real-life usage will vary depending on whether you are just recording or have the displays permanently on.
The Rokid Glasses are available to back on Kickstarter now for $499 but will cost $599 when they launch. As at the time of writing, Rokid has already received almost $686,000, surpassing by no small margin its $20,000 goal despite having 43 days left.
