Rokid has announced its new AI-powered smart glasses, which are being seen as a rival to the popular Ray-Ban Meta Glasses. The new device is packed with features like dual-eye displays, real-time translations in many languages, AI assistance, and even a built-in camera.
The company says these glasses are designed for everyday use, whether for work, travel, or entertainment, and they will start shipping in November 2025.
The Rokid AI Glasses cost $599, which comes to about ₹52,500 in India. People who support the project early on Kickstarter can get them at a lower price of $479, which is close to ₹42,000. Rokid is also giving a free charging case worth $99 (around ₹8,700) for early backers who are part of the first $1 million in funding.
One of the main highlights of these glasses is the dual micro-LED displays. They can go up to 1,500 nits brightness, have ten levels of dimming, and offer a 23-degree field of view. This makes it easy to see translations, directions, or notifications clearly even in bright conditions.
The glasses are lightweight at just 49 grams and also come with an IPX4 rating, which means they are protected from splashes of water.
Inside, the Rokid AI Glasses run on a dual-chip system. They use the Qualcomm AR1 chipset along with the NXP RT600 processor. The device also makes use of OpenAI’s GPT-5 model and Rokid’s own language model, which powers many of its AI features.
When it comes to smart functions, these glasses can translate 89 languages in real time. They display subtitles on the screen, and there is also an option to hear the translations aloud. Apart from this, users get AI-supported navigation, reminders for calls and notifications, and a teleprompter function, which can be useful during presentations. The glasses can spot objects and translate text when aimed at signs or documents.
For photos and videos, the glasses have a 12-megapixel camera. It allows users to take pictures or record hands-free videos in lengths of one, three, or ten minutes. To address privacy concerns, the glasses show a small indicator light whenever video recording is turned on.
The device also supports hands-free calling and music playback through built-in speakers. For music, Rokid has added a fun feature that shows AR lyrics on screen, almost like karaoke. There are four microphones to make sure voice commands are clear and background noise gets reduced.
Battery life is another key feature. The 210mAh battery lasts for about 45 minutes of nonstop video recording or nearly six hours of music playing. For longer use, Rokid is also offering an optional 3,000mAh charging case, which is strong enough to recharge the glasses more than ten times before it needs charging itself.
The Rokid AI Glasses can also be fitted with prescription lenses, including those for people with myopia or astigmatism. Buyers can get this done at their local optician or order lenses through Rokid’s approved partners.
According to the company, these glasses are aimed at everyday users, travelers, language learners, content creators, and professionals. The goal is to bring AI, communication, and entertainment into one wearable device that is light and easy to carry.
With these features, Rokid is hoping to take on big competitors like Ray-Ban Meta Glasses and Apple’s Vision Pro ecosystem, at a time when more people are interested in augmented reality wearables and AI devices.
