Rokid, a global leader in human-computer interaction and AI-powered eyewear, has unveiled its latest innovation at CES 2026: Rokid AI Glasses Style. Unlike display-centric smart glasses, Style is a voice-first, display-free AI platform designed for all-day wear, combining a truly open AI ecosystem, dual-chip architecture, prescription-first design, and a commitment to global accessibility.
Weighing just 38.5 grams, Style is among the lightest full-featured AI glasses available today. Rokid has intentionally designed it to feel like premium eyewear rather than a gadget, tackling the long-standing challenge of delivering powerful AI functionality without compromising comfort, style, or battery life.
After more than a decade dedicated exclusively to AR and smart glasses, Rokid positions Style as a defining step toward what many in the industry are calling the next major personal computing shift — the “iPhone moment” for AI glasses. As tech visionary Kevin Kelly recently observed during a visit to Rokid, “Smart glasses will be the next iPhone.”
The World’s First Open AI Ecosystem in Eyewear
Most smart glasses are locked into a single AI engine or a regional ecosystem. Style breaks that mold with a truly open AI platform, supporting multiple engines including ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Qwen, along with global services like Google Maps and Microsoft AI Translation. This allows users to leverage AI across regions and languages without ecosystem lock-in.
Rokid is also opening up its platform to developers and partners. In China, Style already integrates with payments, insurance, ride-hailing, car control, and health services, and features an AI Agent Store, allowing third-party AI agents to run natively on the glasses. Rokid plans to expand this open ecosystem internationally, emphasising AI that is flexible, borderless, and fully user-controlled.
Prescription-First Smart Glasses
Unlike many AI glasses where prescription support is an afterthought, Style is built with vision correction at its core. Rokid’s global online prescription service addresses one of the biggest adoption barriers in smart eyewear. Style supports corrections from plano to ±15.00D, covering:
-
Myopia
-
Astigmatism
-
Presbyopia
-
Progressive lenses
-
Functional lenses (photochromic, tinted, blue-light, UV, polarised, anti-reflective)
Style’s lenses are ultra-thin with anti-scratch coatings, and its dynamic photochromic lenses transition from clear indoor glasses to sunglasses in ~25 seconds. Six lens colour options allow personalisation for style and function. Customers can upload prescriptions online and receive custom lenses in 7–10 days, delivered directly to their door.
Zoro Shao, Rokid’s Global General Manager, highlights the philosophy behind Style:
“AI glasses are becoming the most natural interface for the next era of computing. Clarity is a fundamental human right. With Style, our goal is simple: make advanced AI truly usable, comfortable, and accessible for everyday life.”
Four World-First Innovations
Rokid has a history of pioneering technologies that shape the smart glasses industry. Style introduces four world-first innovations:
-
Open, global AI ecosystem in eyewear
-
Dual-chip architecture
-
NXP RT600 handles low-power, always-on tasks
-
Qualcomm AR1 manages AI and imaging workloads
-
-
Voice interaction in 12 languages
-
Multimodal AI interaction + AI shortcuts
Users can interact through voice commands, physical controls, head gestures, or AI shortcuts. For example, a nod can answer a call, a shake can end it, and predefined AI functions can be triggered hands-free. Style also offers translation in 89 languages, making it truly global.
Featherweight Design Meets Premium Optics
At 38.5 grams (1.36 oz), Style is lighter than competing devices (Meta Ray-Ban Gen 1 at ~49g, Gen 2 at 51–53g), making it genuinely comfortable for all-day wear.
Premium design details include:
-
Aviation-grade titanium alloy hinges
-
Air-cushioned liquid-silicone nose pads
-
Classic D-shaped frame design
Thanks to the dual-chip architecture, Style delivers up to 12 hours of typical daily use and over 24 hours of standby on a single charge.
Daily Style Personalisation & Creator-Ready Imaging
Style comes in two frame colours — Jet Black and Translucent Grey — with diverse lens options to suit fashion, lighting, and activities. Its 12MP Sony sensor enables creator-ready triple-format imaging (3:4, 4:3, 9:16), letting users create platform-ready content for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube without cropping or editing.
Style also supports continuous video recording of up to 10 minutes, far surpassing competitors’ typical ~3-minute limits. Users can effortlessly capture cinematic, square, or vertical content, ensuring every shot is social-media-ready.

Rokid Style balances the impossible triangle of wearability, functionality, and battery life. Pricing is tiered by frame and lens type: includes a choice of one colour option.

Leave Nobody Behind: Accessibility for All
Rokid is championing AI glasses for social good, particularly for blind and low-vision users. Style offers audio-based AI features as “digital eyes,” with a $20 subsidy reducing the price to $279 for visually impaired customers, along with additional launch promotions.
Zoro Shao explains:
“Over 1 billion people globally have vision impairments. They don’t need screens or AR displays — they need lightweight, long-lasting AI glasses that enhance perception. Technology shouldn’t be a toy for the few; it should be a light in everyone’s life. Our mission is to leave nobody behind.”
