The '''Rokid Max''' is a consumer [[augmented reality]] smart glasses display developed by [[Rokid]]. Released in 2023, the Rokid Max features dual Micro-OLED displays at 1920 x 1080 per eye with 120 Hz refresh rate and up to 600 nits brightness, creating a virtual 215-inch screen experience. The lightweight 75-gram glasses include diopter adjustment for nearsighted users (up to -6.00), AI voice control, and are certified for eye comfort with low blue light and flicker-free operation.<ref name="rokid">{{cite web|url=https://global.rokid.com/pages/rokid-max-specs|title=Rokid Max Specs|publisher=Rokid}}</ref>
The '''Rokid Max''' is a pair of consumer [[augmented reality]] display [[AR glasses|glasses]] developed by [[Rokid]], a Chinese technology company, released in 2023 at a price of $399. Designed primarily for media consumption and portable entertainment, the Rokid Max features dual Sony micro-OLED displays with 1920 × 1080 resolution per eye, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 600 nits of perceived brightness, projecting a virtual screen equivalent to 360 inches. Weighing just 75 grams—similar to regular sunglasses—the glasses offer built-in diopter adjustment from 0.00 to -6.00D, eliminating the need for prescription inserts for most nearsighted users. Unlike spatial computing devices, the Rokid Max functions as a personal display rather than offering full AR capabilities, connecting to smartphones, laptops, gaming consoles, and other USB-C sources to create an immersive big-screen viewing experience anywhere.
