The new Rokid Ai Glasses Style is now available globally, positioned as ultra light, prescription first AI glasses designed to bring everyday consumers into the era of wearable AI at a starting price of $299.
Ultra light AI glasses built for daily wear
The Rokid Ai Glasses Style is described as the world’s first open ecosystem AI smart glasses, optimized for ChatGPT, Qwen, DeepSeek, and other AI services, and are now shipping worldwide at a starting price of $299. Weighing just 38.5 grams, the glasses are billed as one of the lightest full featured AI eyewear options, offering up to 12 hours of daily use and 24 hours of standby on a single charge.
Unveiled at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the glasses are now available through the official Rokid website and Amazon US and Amazon Germany, marking the company’s push from the XR developer community into mainstream consumer retail. The launch is also part of Rokid’s broader vision that, in the AI era, glasses rather than phones will become the primary interface for human–computer interaction, as Global General Manager Zoro Shao said, “In the AI era, we believe glasses—not phones—will become the primary platform.”
Open AI ecosystem, not a walled garden
Central to Rokid’s strategy is an open AI ecosystem that lets users access multiple AI engines instead of being locked into a single model. The Rokid AI Glasses Style supports an open, global AI ecosystem across regions, allowing developers and enterprises to build localized and vertical applications on top of the wearable platform.
The company operates what it calls one of the world’s largest XR and wearable AI developer communities, with more than 20,000 registered developers and thousands of enterprise partners worldwide. This open approach is designed to appeal to both tech forward consumers and enterprise partners who want to create bespoke experiences without building their own hardware stack.
Hardware innovation and multimodal interaction
The Rokid Ai Glasses Style introduces four “world first” innovations. These include an open, global AI ecosystem supporting multiple AI engines, a dual chip architecture featuring NXP RT600 and Qualcomm AR1, voice interaction in 12 languages with translation in 89, and multimodal AI interaction powered by voice, gestures, and physical controls.
This multimodal setup is designed for hands free convenience, helping wearers interact with AI quickly, whether they are commuting, working, or traveling. As battery life and all day comfort improve, Rokid positions the device as a more natural “always on” AI terminal than smartphones, which the company says are structurally less suited to continuous, body close interaction.
Prescription first approach and lens customization
Positioning itself firmly in the eyewear and lifestyle category, Rokid has built a global online prescription platform to make the Rokid AI Glasses Style genuinely usable as everyday glasses. Users can upload their prescription online and receive custom lenses in approximately 7–10 days, turning the device into their primary pair of glasses rather than a tech only accessory.
The glasses support prescriptions from plano to ±15.00D, covering myopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, progressive lenses, and multiple functional coatings such as photochromic, blue light filtering, UV protection, polarized, and anti reflective treatments. Dynamic photochromic lenses, available in six colors, shift from clear indoor lenses to outdoor sunglasses in about 25 seconds, offering a single pair that adapts across different lighting environments.
Pricing, colors, and accessibility
The Rokid Ai Glasses Style starts at $299, with a Golden Bundle priced at $398 that includes 1.60 index photochromic prescription lenses for shoppers looking for an out of the box prescription package. The glasses initially launch in Jet Black, with a Translucent Gray colorway scheduled to arrive in March 2026.
To expand access, Rokid is continuing its “Leave Nobody Behind” initiative, offering an additional $20 subsidy for visually impaired users around the world. Founded in 2014, the company has since grown into a global AR and AI player with multiple CES Innovation Awards and five German iF Design Awards, and it now hosts what it calls China’s largest XR developer community.
