Many members of our editorial staff love new gadgets, so we keep an eye on various tech daily, but lately, we've been particularly interested in AI glasses.
Whether they are called AI glasses or smart glasses, we recently attended the Rokid AI Glasses New Product and Japan Strategy Presentation held by Rokid, a global technology brand leading the development and popularization of these AI wearable devices.

Rokid Smart AI Glasses have so many functions that it's difficult to know where to start, but first of all, the wearing comfort is almost no different from normal glasses.

While weighing only 49g, they house components as follows:

• Soc: Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 + NXP RT600 (Dual Chip)
• RAM: 2GB
• ROM: 32GB

Furthermore, they are a dream pair of glasses packed with modern technology, including a display, 4K-compatible camera, microphone, speakers, wireless functions, and a battery.

• Standby: 24 hours
• Continuous use: 8 hours
• Continuous translation: 2 hours
• Continuous video recording: 30 minutes

Furthermore, by attaching the separately sold capsule charger...

It also supports charging while using the Rokid Smart AI Glasses.
It is quite lightweight, and the wearing sensation hardly changes.

The capsule charger comes with two batteries, so depending on the usage, you might be able to keep using it indefinitely by looping them.

Rokid Smart AI Glasses are a glasses-type wearable device, but the major premise is that they are also glasses.
Therefore, if you attach lenses to the magnetic attachment, it is a great item that even users with myopia or astigmatism can use.

This is truly a complete superior upgrade to eyeglasses!
