The Rokid Max AR Glasses are a type of augmented reality (AR) eyewear developed by Rokid, a Shenzhen-based technology company. Launched in 2023, these glasses are designed to offer a wearable monitor experience, projecting a virtual screen in front of the user. They have gained attention for their blend of AR capabilities and practical use as a personal display device.
The '''Rokid Max Pro''' is a spatial computing [[augmented reality]] smart glasses device developed by [[Rokid]], released in 2024. Building upon the successful Rokid Max display glasses platform, the Max Pro introduces true 6DoF spatial computing capability through a centrally-located depth camera that tracks both head and hand positions in 3D space with centimeter accuracy using Rokid's deep learning algorithms. Despite adding spatial computing, the glasses maintain an ultra-lightweight 76-gram weight using single-camera OST (Optical See-Through) technology—lighter than most display-only AR glasses. The Max Pro features dual micro-OLED displays with 1920 × 1080 resolution per eye, 600 nits brightness, 50° field of view, and 90-120Hz refresh rate, creating a virtual 215-inch screen experience. The glasses run YodaOS with a Vision Pro-inspired spatial interface enabling AR app interaction and support the optional Rokid Station Pro—a pocket-sized compute module powered by Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 1 with 12GB memory and 128GB storage (comparable to Meta Quest Pro performance). With gesture control, voice commands, and spatial interaction capabilities, the Rokid Max Pro represents Rokid's entry into true spatial computing while maintaining the consumer-friendly lightweight form factor.


==Development and Release==
== History and Development ==


Rokid, known for its innovations in the field of AR and AI technology, developed the Rokid Max as a successor to its earlier AR models. The product represents a culmination of advancements in micro-display and optical technology, focusing on comfort and utility.
=== Rokid Evolution ===
Product progression:
* Rokid Air (display glasses)
* Rokid Max (improved displays)
* Rokid Max Pro (spatial computing)
* AR platform expansion


==Design and Features==
=== 2024 Release ===
Spatial computing entry:
* 6DoF capability added
* Depth camera integration
* YodaOS platform
* Consumer pricing


===Physical Design===
=== Station Pro ===
The Rokid Max AR Glasses feature a lightweight design, weighing approximately 75 grams. They are equipped with two Micro-OLED displays, which project images using a bird bath optics system. This design choice is intended to reduce eye strain by reflecting the image to the wearer's line of sight, rather than directly projecting onto the eyes.
Companion device:
* Pocket compute module
* XR2+ Gen 1 powered
* Standalone capability
* Enhanced performance


===Diopter Adjustment===
== Design Philosophy ==
A distinctive feature of the Rokid Max is the inclusion of adjustable diopters. These allow users with near-sightedness to modify the focus of the lenses, eliminating the need for additional prescription lens inserts. This feature makes the Rokid Max more accessible to a wider range of users.


===Audio Capability===
=== Spatial Computing Light ===
The glasses include directional speakers, designed to provide a more immersive audio experience while being audible primarily to the wearer. Reviewers have noted these speakers as superior in comparison to other AR glasses on the market.
Consumer approach:
* 6DoF in glasses form
* 76g ultra-lightweight
* Single depth camera
* Practical AR


==Technical Specifications==
=== Vision Pro-Style Interface ===
UI innovation:
* Spatial UI design
* Gesture interaction
* Hand tracking
* Modern AR experience


The Rokid Max AR Glasses offer a 215-inch virtual screen experience, viewed from a 20-feet distance, to simulate an immersive viewing environment. The glasses do not have internal storage or battery, relying instead on a connected smart device for power and content. They support USB-C connectivity for a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
=== Centimeter Accuracy ===
Tracking precision:
* Deep learning algorithms
* 6DoF head tracking
* 6DoF hand tracking
* Reliable positioning


==User Experience==
== Display Technology ==
===Visual Performance===
The Rokid Max has been praised for its bright, colorful picture quality, with a wide field of view of 50 degrees. The Micro-OLED displays are noted for their clarity and vividness, making them suitable for various multimedia applications.


===Comfort and Usability===
=== Dual Micro-OLED ===
Comfort has been a highlighted aspect, with the glasses being considered suitable for extended use. The adjustable diopters and lightweight design contribute significantly to user comfort.
Panel specifications:
* '''Resolution''': 1920 × 1080 per eye
* '''Type''': Micro-OLED
* '''Brightness''': 600 nits
* '''Refresh Rate''': 90Hz, 120Hz


===Augmented Reality Applications===
=== Virtual Screen ===
While positioned as AR glasses, the Rokid Max's augmented reality features are limited. The focus is more on providing a private, portable screen experience rather than interactive AR functionalities.
Display experience:
* '''Equivalent''': 215-inch at 6m
* Full HD quality
* Cinema experience
* Entertainment-focused


==Market Reception and Reviews==
=== Field of View ===
The Rokid Max has received generally positive reviews from technology critics and users. It has been praised for its visual quality, comfort, and the inclusion of focus adjustment dials. However, it has also faced criticism for its limited AR capabilities and the physical design, which some users find less aesthetically pleasing.
Coverage:
* '''FOV''': 50°
* Wider than typical display glasses
* AR content overlay
* Balanced for spatial computing


===Comparisons with Competitors===
== 6DoF Tracking ==
In comparison to similar products like the TCL NXTWear S and Viture One, the Rokid Max stands out for its wider field of view and focus adjustments. However, its AR capabilities are considered less advanced than some of its competitors.


===Price and Value===
=== Single Depth Camera ===
The glasses are priced at around $439, placing them in the higher range of the market for AR glasses. While considered somewhat expensive, the unique features like diopter adjustments and superior speaker quality add to its perceived value.
Tracking hardware:
* '''Position''': Center-mounted
* '''Type''': Depth-sensing camera
