Rokid, the China and US-based AR startup, launched a Kickstarter campaign last week for Rokid Glasses, frontrunning the competition with a pair of smart glasses housing green monochrome displays. Now, the crowdfunding campaign has surpasses $1 million, doubling the amount it garnered within its first 24 hours.<\/p>\n

If\u00a0Rokid Glases\u2019 recent performance on Kickstarter is anything to go by, there\u2019s going to be an unmistakable demand for smart glasses that offer more than an \u2018audio-only\u2019 experience, like you get with Ray-Ban Meta and the recently launched Oakley Meta HSTN glasses. Google is planning them<\/a>, and Meta is rumored to have their own in the works<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, less than a week since its launch on Kickstarter<\/a>, the display-clad smart glasses have topped $8.7 million Hong Kong dollars (~$1.2 million USD). And there\u2019s still 38 days to go in the campaign, leaving plenty of room to run until close on October 10th.<\/p>\n

You can catch all of the specs and features here<\/a>, although here\u2019s the short of it: Rokid Glasses run a Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 and NXP\u2019s RT600, which drive its dual green micro-LED displays, which Rokid says can deliver 1500 nits of brightness\u2014all at 49g and a formfactor that\u2019s impressively normal.<\/p>\n

Onboard is a single 12MP camera sensor, which features a 109\u00b0 field of view, low-light HDR and digital video stabilization. Multiple formats will be available, letting you shoot up to 1200p photos and\u00a02,400\u202f\u00d7\u202f1,800 video.<\/p>\n

Relying on both ChatGPT and an internal LLM for queries and live text and voice translation, the glasses also promise things like turn-by-turn directions, music playback and voice calls through dual\u00a0AAC speakers. Again, that\u2019s abridged version. You can learn more about battery, photo and video quality, and early hands-ons here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now that the campaign has surpassed $1 million, all backers will also get a free Charging Case, valued at $99. That said, the lowest funding tier ($479) is already gone, leaving the next cheapest tier at $549, which already comes with the Charging Case in addition to a magnetic Prescription Frame so you can fit in your prescription.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, we\u2019ll be following the Rokid Glasses Kickstarter<\/a>\u00a0as it makes headway until its October 10th close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rokid, the China and US-based AR startup, launched a Kickstarter campaign last week for Rokid Glasses, frontrunning the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36572,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[260],"tags":[18,19,17,82,286,287,288],"class_list":{"0":"post-36571","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-virtual-reality","13":"tag-virtualreality","14":"tag-vr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
