These Sensible Glasses Make Posting Straight to TikTok Much less Annoying

Should you thought that Meta made probably the most social media-friendly smart glasses cash can purchase, you would possibly need to suppose once more. Rokid, a wise glasses purveyor out of China, unveiled its Rokid Ai Glasses Model (sure, the “I” is lowercase like Humane’s Ai Pin), they usually have one factor that no different pair of sensible glasses has: the proper side ratios for the digital camera.

It’s small, however the Rokid’s Ai Glasses Style are the primary sensible glasses to my information that permit customers to shoot in three completely different side ratios for photos and movies, together with 3:4, 4:3, and 9:16, the final of which is right for Instagram Reels and TikTok. In Rokid’s phrases: “No cropping, no post-editing—good for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Shorts, vlogs, journey diaries, and POV storytelling.”

Now, whether or not you’ll get clocked within the face whereas making an attempt to movie utilizing your new sensible glasses is one other query totally, however not less than the cropping half might be straightforward.

Whereas side ratios could be extra conducive for social media, the Rokid Ai Glasses Model are about the identical within the digital camera division as different sensible glasses. They’ve a 12-megapixel sensor, which is similar because the sensor on the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, and built-in picture stabilization so your movies don’t look tremendous shaky.

Just like the Ray-Ban AI glasses, Rokid’s Ai Glasses Model don’t have a display screen and are additionally fairly normal-looking and light-weight. They weigh simply 38g in comparison with the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 AI glasses, which weigh about 50g. Regardless of that weight discount, they’re someway rated for 12 hours of battery, which is spectacular if it really seems to be true. For reference, the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 ought to get about 8 hours on a cost with intermittent/normal use.

If there’s one factor that I’ll have my eye on with these sensible glasses, it’s the voice assistant. I examined Rokid’s display glasses earlier this 12 months, they usually left lots to be desired (it barely understood a phrase I mentioned). On paper, not less than, the Rokid Ai Glasses Model appear like a reasonably respectable different to the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses.

And befitting the “Model” identify, the AI Glasses Model will are available two body colours and work with 11 interchangeable colourful lenses. The sensible glasses additionally assist prescription lenses. Rokid hasn’t introduced pricing or launch date data but. We should always hear extra at CES 2026 in a number of weeks.
