Rokid

Rokid and Lens Technology have launched the Rokid Glasses, an AI-powered AR device, marking a shift towards commercialized AI-integrated AR. The glasses, with over 250,000 pre-orders, are the first mass-produced consumer AI+AR glasses. This partnership combines Rokid’s software and hardware expertise with Lens Technology’s manufacturing capabilities, creating a lightweight, feature-rich device. The collaboration fuels an ecosystem supporting AR applications and aims at leading the growing AR market.

Rokid and AutoNavi partner to launch the first full-context navigation app for smart glasses, enabling multimodal interactions via voice commands to switch between walking, cycling, and driving modes during active use. A minimalist holographic display projects navigation data at a 4-meter virtual distance, reducing cognitive load while supporting preemptive traffic light alerts and real-time vehicle monitoring for cyclist safety. The AI engine adapts to spontaneous needs, like adding waypoints for coffee stops with instant ETA recalculations, and provides hyperlocal terrain analytics for runners. Dynamic pedestrian navigation personalizes recommendations using biometric data and preferences, maintaining visual clarity in complex environments. This partnership is expected to set a benchmark for AR-integrated mobility solutions, with automotive spatial navigation features planned for Q3 that could disrupt the $21B HUD market through affordable wearable adoption.
