Rokid Brings AI Glasses Launch to New York City

By: Get News

Rokid officially unveiled its much-anticipated Rokid Glasses at a private launch in New York City, drawing around 100 representatives from top media, influencers, and the technology community. Positioned as the world’s lightest full-function AI & AR smart glasses at just 49 grams, the device blends productivity and accessibility with real-world practicality.

The event, themed “Future in Sight,” centered on how AI glasses are reshaping communication, creativity, and human-computer interaction. Attendees tested features including real-time multilingual translation, object recognition, live transcription, productivity tools, AI-powered teleprompter functions, and a 12MP first-person camera.

The expert panel, “From Mobile to Wearable: The Rise of AI Glasses,” featured CNN technology journalist Andrea Smith, NYU Professor Vasant Dhar, Columbia University’s Dr. Orson Xu, and Memories AI founder Dr. Shawn Shen. The discussion explored the challenges and opportunities in moving beyond smartphones, from healthcare applications and industry adoption to privacy, trust, and accessibility.

The program also included a podcast session, “AI Glasses for Social Good,” where Rokid’s Head of Global Partnership Development, Liang Guan, spoke with executives from CaringKind, New York City’s leading dementia caregiving organization. Together, they explored how AI-powered wearables could support caregivers and enhance daily life for individuals affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The launch also served as the starting point for Rokid’s “Dream Journey” World Tour, a global campaign designed to engage creators worldwide. Early momentum has been strong, with Rokid Glasses reaching $400,000 in just 8 hours on Kickstarter.

By bringing its launch to New York, a hub for media, finance, and innovation, Rokid underscored its ambition to expand globally while highlighting the city’s role in connecting cutting-edge technology with real-world impact.
