At IFA 2025, Rokid unvelied its most accessible smart glasses yet—the Rokid Glasses. With their lightweight 49 g magnesium-aluminum frame and magnetic prescription lens support, they look and feel like practical eyewear—not a bulky tech demo.
The real draw, though, is the seamless AR experience: dual MicroLED displays overlay translations, maps, and transcriptions right in your line of sight, no phone needed. A discreet 12 MP Sony camera handles hands-free capture, while integrated AI (including ChatGPT) powers object recognition, transcription, and instant answers.
Audio features are solid too, with dual directional speakers and a 4-mic array with AI noise cancellation, and the portable charging case delivers up to 10 recharges—borrowed from the wireless-earbud playbook.
With an early-bird Kickstarter price of $499 (later $599 retail), Rokid positions itself squarely between style-first glasses like Ray-Ban Meta (which offer camera capture without AR overlays) and Xreal One Pro (which delivers immersive display performance without AR interactivity).
