Hangzhou-based Rokid is expanding its presence in the smart glasses market through new hardware and proprietary software. The company recently launched the ‘Rokid Ai Glasses Style’, a lightweight, screenless device weighing approximately 38.5g. Designed for daily use, the glasses utilize the Snapdragon AR1 SoC and integrate AI capabilities such as real-time translation for 76 languages, image recognition, and voice-guided navigation via ChatGPT and Gemini. To manage privacy, the device includes indicator lights for recording and uses end-to-end encryption. On the software front, Rokid is developing YodaOS, which it describes as the ‘world’s first AI-native operating system specifically designed for smart glasses’. The company aims to establish an open ecosystem around this operating system. As of 2025, Rokid reported that global orders for its flagship smart glasses have surpassed 350,000 units, with over 50,000 units intended for international markets. By the first half of 2026, Rokid secured the top global position in the AR and AI glasses segment by shipment share, capturing 41 percent of the market according to Counterpoint Research. In October 2026, Rokid expanded its physical retail presence by opening the world’s first unmanned, self-service AI glasses experience store at Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. Furthering its hardware lineup, Rokid unveiled the Rokid Glasses 2, which features a dual-chip architecture and improved battery endurance. This model supports real-time meeting summaries and AI call translation for 89 languages. Additionally, the company introduced the Rokid Color, a Micro-LED AI glass, and the Rokid Ring, a wearable device for micro-gestures and health monitoring. The Glasses 2 utilizes a Snapdragon AR1 platform and a BES2800BP chip, featuring a 12-megapixel camera and accessibility tools for hearing-impaired and visually impaired users. Rokid also announced the Spatial Joy 2026 global developer competition with a 5 million yuan prize pool.
