Overview

Rokid is a human-computer interaction company that designs and manufactures augmented-reality hardware and software, most recently launching the 49-gram Rokid Glasses, billed as the world’s lightest full-function AI & AR smart glasses. The device runs on the Qualcomm AR1 platform and incorporates dual Micro LED waveguide displays, a 12-megapixel Sony IMX681 camera, and AI-driven features such as real-time translation, object recognition, live transcription, navigation, teleprompter capabilities, and voice interaction. Its open SDK lets developers tap into services like ChatGPT, Gemini, Google Maps, Microsoft Translator, and custom large language models, positioning the product as an extensible platform rather than a closed ecosystem. Rokid claims the largest XR developer community in China and has won three consecutive CES Innovation Awards and five German iF Design Awards. To build momentum, the company undertook a “Future in Sight” world tour with live demos across the United States, Germany, Singapore, and France, and launched a “Go Global with Rokid Glasses” creator program that funded user-generated travel stories captured through the glasses. The recent Kickstarter campaign drew over 5,000 backers and raised $3.6 million, providing the firm with capital for global rollout and validating consumer demand for intelligent, lightweight smart eyewear.
