Rokid Glasses integrate photography, earbud-style audio, a quick-access AI assistant, and a head-up display while supporting 89 languages and magnetized pop-in lenses. The glasses capture photos in horizontal or vertical mode, include a 210 mAh battery, ship with native ChatGPT support, and offer an Audio Memo feature for notes and reminders. Rokid launched a Kickstarter on August 26 to secure $20,000 in pre-orders and exceeded $1 million within 72 hours. The glasses weigh 49g, share a Wayfarer-style footprint with Meta Ray-Bans, and will retail for $599, positioning them above Meta Ray-Bans' price range.
The Rokid Glasses combine the three best features of Meta Ray-Bans -- convenient photography, ear buds-like audio, and a quick-access AI assistant -- with a head-up display like the ones you'll find in AR glasses such as the Even Realities G1 and Brilliant Labs Halo. Beyond just the heads-up display, the Rokid Glasses also offer several other upgrades over the Meta Ray-Bans: Support for 89 languages (compared to 4) Shoot photos in horizontal or vertical mode (rather than just vertical) 210 mAh battery (compared to 154 mAh) Native ChatGPT support (compared to the Meta's Llama AI model) Audio Memo for notes and reminders (no equivalent feature) Magnetized pop-in lenses (compared to traditional lenses)
The popular Meta Ray-Bans smart glasses are about to get a lot more competition, including from big tech companies like Samsung and Google. However, are shaping up to be one of the up-and-coming products to watch in this space. On August 26, Rokid launched a Kickstarter campaign to try to nail down $20,000 in pre-orders for its smart glasses by October 10. Less than 72 hours later, Rokid Glasses had already cleared over $1 million in pre-orders.
