Overview

• Rokid unveiled its smartglasses at an international event and opened a Kickstarter, offering early-bird tiers starting at $499 with a $599 MSRP and November shipping targets.
• The glasses integrate dual monochrome waveguide MicroOLED displays that show green text and graphics for heads-up uses such as translation, navigation and on-screen prompts.
• A 12‑megapixel camera captures photos and up to 60fps video and includes an LED indicator, with AI features like object recognition, real-time translation and ChatGPT access powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon AR1.
• Rokid says the frames weigh 49 grams thanks to a magnesium‑aluminum alloy and include open‑ear speakers and a four‑microphone array, and the company claims up to 1,500 nits of display brightness.
• A 210mAh battery with fast charging is built in, though battery life and sustained display performance have not been independently verified, and the launch invites comparisons to Meta’s still-unannounced display model.
