Rokid Glasses, reshaping human-computer interaction with AI+AR

With the rapid development of AI and AR technologies, the smart glasses market is ushering in a consumption upgrade. Pure AI functions can no longer meet users' comprehensive expectations for smart glasses. The deep integration of AI and AR is an inevitable trend in the future development of smart glasses.

When AR becomes the "eyes" of AI, smart glasses will eventually become the core carrier of the next generation of human-computer interaction.

The road to integration of smart glasses

In the development history of smart glasses, AI glasses and AR glasses are regarded by the industry as two parallel technical paths. However, with the continuous evolution of technology and the increasing complexity of user needs, the deep integration of AI and AR is the inevitable trend of the future development of smart glasses.

This integration can not only break the boundaries of technology, but also bring users a more efficient, natural and immersive interactive experience. To verify this point of view, we need to answer the following three questions:

The first question is, why do AI glasses need AR display?

The core of AI glasses is to provide users with intelligent interaction through AI technology, but pure audio interaction has limitations. AR display can present information in an intuitive visual form, allowing users to obtain and understand it more quickly. For example, in complex environments, AR display can display object information or navigation routes in real time, providing a more efficient and intuitive interactive experience.

The second question is, why do AR glasses need AI functions?

The core of AR glasses is the visual experience of combining virtual and real, but without AI functions, intelligent interaction cannot be achieved. AI technology can help AR glasses better understand user needs and environmental information, thereby providing personalized services. For example, through the AI ​​object recognition function, users can quickly obtain relevant information about objects, improving the practicality and fun of AR glasses.

The third question is, what is the importance of camera?

The camera is one of the key components of AI glasses and AR glasses. It is not only used for taking photos and videos, but also a core component for perceiving and understanding the real world. Through the camera, the device can capture images in the user's field of view, and combine AI for object recognition, scene analysis, and information overlay, thereby achieving more natural and intelligent interaction.

From this we can conclude that AR display provides AI glasses with more intuitive information presentation, while AI functions give AR glasses a more intelligent understanding of information. The combination of the two, plus the support of the key component of the camera, enables smart glasses to better meet the diverse needs of users in different scenarios.

From “seeing” to “understanding”

When "teleprompter" became the label that broke the circle of Rokid Glasses, people may have overlooked its true subversive nature - at the intersection of lenses and reality, a narrative about "reconstructing human-computer interaction" is unfolding.

From completing an impromptu speech, to identifying the historical code of an ancient building tile, to analyzing the tactical context of a chess game, the fusion of AI and AR is transforming cold algorithms into warm life solutions.

When strolling among the red walls and yellow tiles of the Palace Museum, just ask quietly, "Leqi, what is this palace used for?" and Rokid Glasses will tell you its name and historical purpose; when you stop in front of a portrait of an emperor, AI has identified the identity of the person in the painting through the details of his clothing, and his life story and historical anecdotes will appear on the AR interface; and when you are curious about an exhibit, just ask Leqi, and Rokid Glasses will reveal the story behind it for you.

From the production process to the cultural implications, from the historical background to the transmission context, it is like a knowledgeable guide who awakens the sleeping cultural relics and makes history come alive before your eyes.

When you wear Rokid Glasses to play chess, you only need to ask quietly, "What should I do next?" and it will transform into a patient chess instructor: the camera perceives the real-world images in real time, the AR interface projects text information in real time, and the AI ​​voice simultaneously analyzes tactical ideas, from basic rules to advanced strategies, from defensive counterattacks to decisive skills, guiding you step by step to unravel the mystery of the chess game.

AI needs AR to complete the cognitive leap from abstract to concrete.

Pure AI devices, such as smart speakers, cannot allow users to intuitively understand information. AR displays present abstract information to users, just as Rokid Glasses not only provide voice explanations when identifying cultural relics, but also realize "visual knowledge transfer" by narrating the stories behind them.

AR also requires AI to complete the qualitative change from presentation to understanding.

Traditional AR glasses cannot understand the real world, so there is no way to determine the user's real location. Rokid Glasses integrates a multimodal large model and overlays real-time information based on the real world, so users can see the most appropriate navigation information while observing the real road conditions. This is the "decision-making wisdom" that AI gives to AR.

The dimensionality and integration of virtual and real interactions are inevitable. Single-modal technology can never meet the needs of complex scenarios.

At the interface between lens and reality

The starting point of this evolution is hidden in a seemingly ordinary diffractive light waveguide lens.

The audio information provided by general AI glasses often seems to be inadequate when encountering complex scenarios - imagine using voice to describe the changes in a chess game, which is far less efficient than the tactical arrows jumping on the AR chessboard. This is the key to Rokid Glasses' breakthrough: it uses AR display to provide richer information display capabilities, allowing AI's thinking process to be visualized.

This coordinated evolution of software and hardware is reshaping the value coordinates of the entire industry.

In the past five years, smart glasses have always been trapped in the contradiction between "overabundance of technology" and "scarcity of scenarios" - until the AI ​​big model and AR display, this pair of "double helices" found the fulcrum to entangle each other. In essence, it is reconstructing the paradigm of human-machine collaboration.

Standing at the Wanchun Pavilion in Jingshan and overlooking the Forbidden City, Rokid Glasses users see not only the golden outline of the ancient buildings, but also the historical heritage that penetrates the dimension of time.

This experience may be a metaphor for the end of the industry: when AI becomes the underlying infrastructure of spatial computing, AR display will be able to break away from the narrow definition of "movie viewing and entertainment equipment" and evolve into a new organ that enhances human cognition.

The ultimate form of smart glasses should not be another screen to replace mobile phones. In this silent revolution, the winner may have already been determined - because the real future never belongs to the wavering fence-sitters.
