A 38.5-gram, display-free AI glasses platform featuring a dual-chip architecture and global accessibility focus—bringing AI into everyday wear and accelerating the mainstream adoption of smart eyewear.

LAS VEGAS,Jan. 7, 2026/PRNewswire/ --Rokid, a global pioneer in human-computer interaction and AI-powered eyewear, today unveilsRokid Ai Glasses Styleat CES 2026. Style is a display-free, voice-centric AI glasses built for all-day wear, combining anopen AI ecosystem, prescription-first design, dual-chip architecture, and a strong commitment toglobal accessibility.

Weighing just38.5 grams,Style is among the lightest full-featured AI glasses on the market. Designed as premium eyewear rather than a gadget, it represents Rokid's answer to the industry's long-standing dilemma: how to deliver powerful AI functionalitywithout compromising comfort, style, or battery life.

After more than a decade focused exclusively on AR and smart glasses, Rokid positions Style as a defining step toward what many industry leaders now describe as the next major personal-computing shift —the"iPhone moment"of AI glasses. As noted by tech visionary Kevin Kelly during a recent visit to Rokid,"Smart glasses will be the next iPhone."

Why It Matters — The World's First Open AI Ecosystem Without Lock-In in Eyewear

Unlike most smart glasses locked into a single AI model or regional service stack,Rokid Ai Glasses Style is built on an open, global AI strategy.

Style supportsmultiple AI engines, includingChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Qwen, and integrates with global services such asGoogle MapsandMicrosoft AI Translation, enabling AI useacross regions and languageswithout ecosystem lock-in.

Beyond AI models, Rokid is committed toopen global partnerships. In China, Rokid has already connected services such aspayments, insurance, ride-hailing, car control, and health, and launched anAI Agent Store— a developer-first platform that allows third-party AI agents to run natively on smart glasses.

This open ecosystem will gradually expand to international markets, reinforcing Rokid's vision ofAI that is borderless, flexible, and user-controlled.

What Sets Style Apart — The Industry's Most Comprehensive Prescription& Lens Ecosystem

Prescription compatibility is not an add-on — it is core to Style's design.

Rokid introduces acomprehensive global online prescription service, addressing one of the biggest adoption barriers in smart eyewear. Style supports a correction range fromplano to ±15.00D, covering:

• Myopia
• Astigmatism
• Presbyopia
• Progressive lenses
• Functional lenses (photochromic, tinted, blue-light, UV, polarized, anti-reflective)

Style featuresultra-thin lenses with anti-scratch coatingsanddynamic photochromic lensesavailable insix color options, transitioning from clear indoor glasses to stylish outdoor sunglasses in~25 seconds.

Through Rokid's global prescription platform, users can upload prescriptions online and receive custom lenses within7–10 days, delivered directly to their door.

"AI glasses are becoming the most natural interface for the next era of computing. Clarity is a fundamental human right,"said Zoro Shao, Global General Manager at Rokid. "With Style, our goal is simple: make advanced AI truly usable, comfortable and accessible for everyday life. And we ensure that prescription requirements never limit a user's access to wisdom and technology."

Core Innovation — Four World-First Innovations Setting New Industry Standards for AI Glasses

Rokid has consistently pioneered foundational technologies now becoming industry norms. With Style, the company introduces or advances four world-firsts:

1. World's first open, global AI ecosystem in eyewear
2. World's first dual-chip AI glasses architecture (now widely embraced across the smart glasses industry)
   • NXP RT600 handles low-power, always-on tasks
   • Qualcomm AR1 manages AI and imaging workloads
3. World's first AI glasses supporting voice interaction in 12 languages
4. World's first AI glasses with true multimodal interaction + AI shortcuts

Style supports voice interaction in 12 languages and translation in 89 languages, along with multimodal input that includes voice commands, physical controls, head gestures and AI shortcuts. Users can nod to answer calls, shake their head to end them, and activate predefined AI functions quickly and hands-free.

Designed for Everyday Use — Featherweight Comfort, All-Day Battery Life and Premium Optics

At38.5 grams (1.36 oz), Style is significantly lighter than comparable products (e.g., Meta Ray-Ban Gen 1 at ~49g; Gen 2 at ~51–53g), making it genuinely wearable throughout the day.

Designed to look and feel like premium eyewear, Style features:

• Aviation-grade titanium alloy hinges
• Air-cushioned liquid-silicone nose pads
• Classic D-shaped frame design

Thanks to its dual-chip architecture, Style delivers up to12 hours of typical daily use and over 24 hours of standby timeon a single charge.

Built for Daily Style Personalization and Creators — Triple-Format Imaging Without Compromise

Style offerstwo frame colors—Jet BlackandTranslucent Grey— paired withdiverse lens options, allowing users to adapt the glasses to fashion, lighting, activities, or mood.

Equipped with a12MP Sony sensor, open-ear audio, advanced imaging, and4K capture, Style introduces acreator-ready triple-format imaging system: 3:4/4:3/9:16.

Unlike most smart glasses that support only one shooting format, Style enables instant, platform-ready content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more —no cropping, no post-editing required.

What's more, Style supports continuousvideo recording of up to 10 minutes, significantly exceeding the typical ~3-minute limit of comparable products such as Meta Ray-Ban.

Whether capturing cinematic scenes, square-format moments, or vertical social content, users can effortlessly switch formats, ensuring every shot is platform-ready without the need for cropping or post-editing — giving Rokid a significant competitive edge in creator-friendly smart eyewear.

Competitive Pricing and Availability

Designed to balance the industry"impossible triangle"dilemma: wearability& comfort, functionality& performance, and long battery life, the Style integrates multimodal AI interaction, precision prescription optics, and lightweight, with a global retail price starting at$299, excluding tax.

To address the high cost of prescription lenses, Rokid is offering a"Golden Bundle", which includes 1.60 index prescription lenses with photochromic functionality. While comparable devices from other brands (ex.Meta Ray-Ban) can cost over $579, the Rokid Style Golden Bundle is priced at $398, making advanced prescription-compatible AI glasses more accessible.

Rokid Ai Glasses Style are available for reservation, with an early-bird offer that allows customers to place a$1 deposit and receive a $20 discount. This reservation period precedes theofficial global online launch on January 19, 2026, when the product will become available throughRokid's global website as well as selected online and offline retail channels worldwide.

At launch, Style will debut in Jet Black, with a second colorway, Translucent Gray, scheduled to follow in March 2026. Together, the two color options echo Rokid's design philosophy and product slogan —"Twice the Style"— expressing the fusion of smart glasses functionality and dual fashion aesthetics.

"Leave Nobody Behind": A Commitment to AI Glasses for Social Good and Accessibility

In a move to democratize technology for the visually impaired, Rokid also announced an accessibility initiative aimed at supporting blind and low-vision users, recognizing that audio-based AI glasses can serve as"digital eyes."Customers purchasing Style for a visually impaired user will receive a $20 subsidy, lowering the price to $279, with additional launch promotions reducing the cost further.

"Globally, over 1 billion people have vision impairments; 43 million are completely blind, and two-thirds live in the Asia-Pacific region. They don't need screens or cool AR displays. They are urgently calling for an AI glass that is lightweight, long-lasting, and has powerful perception capabilities to serve as their"eyes."This is one of the most important reasons we accelerated the launch of Style."said Zoro Shao, Global General Manager at Rokid.

"Technology shouldn't just be a toy for the few; it should be a light in everyone's life,"added Zoro. "Our mission is to leave nobody behind."

A Decade of Focus on AR Glasses: Accelerate the Mainstream Adoption of AI Glasses
