Rokid introduces the next evolution of that vision, the Rokid Glasses, at a launch event in New York City. Weighing just 49 grams, these cognified smart glasses deliver a premium lightweight, all-day comfort fit. They endorse a new powerful creative tool, ideal for urban planners, engineers, architects, and more. Rokid Glasses features help them stand out from the crowd. They’re serious about making a name for themselves in the competitive field of smart glasses with one strong competitor as Meta.
To that end, the Rokid Glasses have dual speakers and a four-microphone array featuring AI noise cancellation technology. Users can make and receive calls, voice commands, and media playback without the hassle of needing separate earbuds. Such functionality positions the Rokid Glasses as a practical solution for those on the move, including healthcare workers and delivery drivers.
These goggles only provide a 30-degree field of vision. This approach opens up new educational opportunities as users interact with their world and effortlessly view contextualized information. Their most impressive feature, by far, is their live multilingual translation service — subtitles and all. This accessibility feature becomes crucial especially in multilingual workplaces, where working across languages often creates additional barriers to productivity and collaboration. Rokid Glasses meeting mode is able to live transcribe meetings, lectures and conversations in real-time, fostering a new level of productivity and collaboration.
Rokid’s promise to an open ecosystem certainly sets its product apart from the competition. The company recently released an open Software Development Kit (SDK) to accelerate developers’ ability to build. This new initiative encourages them to build more integrations that improve the glasses’ functionality. Rokid, on the other hand, democratizes current success through a community of over 15,000 developers. In doing so, they’ve created collaborations with over 5,000 businesses and over 50 academic institutions. This collaborative approach with future users promotes the innovation and flexibility required, empowering them to tailor Rokid Glasses to suit their daily workflows.
As the smart glasses market heats up, Rokid’s strategy diverges from Meta’s restrictive model that limits functionality to its own applications and artificial intelligence. By keeping their platform open, Rokid gives their users flexibility and autonomy in terms of how they want to use their smart glasses.
Rokid Glasses are being introduced at an exciting time. Their Kickstarter campaign wraps up on October 10th, so don’t wait! Their goal, the campaign says, is to use the public interest and support generated by the campaign to get these glasses on the market.
