"Lately, I've been thinking a lot about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's quote about being at a cognitive disadvantage if you're not wearing AI glasses in the future. At first, I dismissed it as just another message to the investors. But after retesting the Meta Ray-Bans this summer and then trying the new Rokid Glasses, my skepticism is quickly recalibrating. The are the latest to enter what has been a bustling market of AI wearables in 2025, and they're full of promise."
"Sure, the Meta Ray-Bans can run multimodal operations too, but not as well as the Rokid Glasses, based on my 24 hours of testing them so far. And the latter pair has a special trick up its sleeve: Micro LED waveguide displays, an advancement that suggests that real innovation in smart glasses might not be what you hear but what you see."
Rokid Glasses launch on Kickstarter with a $599 retail price and incorporate Micro LED waveguide displays that project textual information such as teleprompters and AI responses. The glasses include hands-free photo and video capture and a ChatGPT-powered voice assistant that can answer queries, navigate the user interface, and process visual input via a 12MP sensor. The 12MP camera performance is underwhelming and many key features require a stable internet connection to function. The frames use a conventional aesthetic that blends with regular eyewear while delivering advanced display capabilities for multimodal interactions.
