When you think of smart glasses, the first thing that probably comes to mind is Meta. The social media giant’s Ray-Ban smart glasses hold a tight grip on the market. However, a new challenger may loosen that grip with the launch of its new product.


Rokid has announced the launch of a Kickstarter for its Rokid AI Glasses. Similar to the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses, this device features a 12MP camera, open-ear speakers, and an AI model on board (ChatGPT). As such, they are capable of many of the same feats, like capturing a moment, language translation, music playback, and audio reminders.
