The [[Rokid Max Pro]] is an [[augmented reality]] ([[AR]]) glasses product developed by [[Rokid]], a company based out of China. The product was launched in 2023. The marketing for the product includes the idea that they can offer a wearable monitor experience, projecting a virtual screen in front of the user. They have gained attention for their low price and their marketing as an AR and personal display device.


==Development and Release==
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.


Rokid developed the Rokid Max as a successor to its earlier AR models.
== History and Development ==


==Design and Features==
=== Rokid Evolution ===
Product progression:
* Rokid Air (display glasses)
* Rokid Max (improved displays)
* Rokid Max Pro (spatial computing)
* AR platform expansion


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


===Diopter Adjustment===
=== Station Pro ===
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.
Companion device:
* Pocket compute module
* XR2+ Gen 1 powered
* Standalone capability
* Enhanced performance


===Audio===
== Design Philosophy ==
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.


==Technical Specifications==
=== Spatial Computing Light ===
Consumer approach:
* 6DoF in glasses form
* 76g ultra-lightweight
* Single depth camera
* Practical AR


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


==User Experience==
=== Centimeter Accuracy ===
===Visual Performance===
Tracking precision:
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.
* Deep learning algorithms
* 6DoF head tracking
* 6DoF hand tracking
* Reliable positioning


===Comfort and Usability===
== Display Technology ==
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.


===Augmented Reality Applications===
=== Dual Micro-OLED ===
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.
Panel specifications:
* '''Resolution''': 1920 × 1080 per eye
* '''Type''': Micro-OLED
* '''Brightness''': 600 nits
* '''Refresh Rate''': 90Hz, 120Hz


==Market reception and reviews==
=== Virtual Screen ===
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.
Display experience:
* '''Equivalent''': 215-inch at 6m
* Full HD quality
* Cinema experience
* Entertainment-focused


===Comparisons with competitors===
=== Field of View ===
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.
Coverage:
* '''FOV''': 50°
* Wider than typical display glasses
* AR content overlay
* Balanced for spatial computing


===Price and value===
== 6DoF Tracking ==
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.


==Compatibility and Connectivity==
=== Single Depth Camera ===
The Rokid Max is compatible with devices that support [[DisplayPort over USB-C]], including many modern laptops and smartphones. It also supports additional adapters for devices without USB-C DisplayPort, like certain [[game consoles]] and PCs.
Tracking hardware:
* '''Position''': Center-mounted
* '''Type''': Depth-sensing camera
* Motion calculation
* Spatial understanding


==Use Cases==
=== Deep Learning Algorithms ===
The primary use cases for the Rokid Max include media consumption, such as watching movies and playing games, and as a secondary screen for laptops, enhancing ergonomics and posture during work. While its AR features are limited, the glasses serve well as a personal, portable display.
