These Good Glasses Make Posting Straight to TikTok Much less Annoying

In the event you thought that Meta made probably the most social media-friendly smart glasses cash should purchase, you would possibly wish to suppose once more. Rokid, a sensible 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 fitting facet ratios for the digicam.

It’s small, however the Rokid’s Ai Glasses Style are the primary sensible glasses to my information that enable customers to shoot in three completely different facet ratios for footage 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—excellent 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 completely, however no less than the cropping half shall be straightforward.

Whereas facet ratios may be extra conducive for social media, the Rokid Ai Glasses Model are about the identical within the digicam 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 one way or the other 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/basic 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 quite a bit to be desired (it barely understood a phrase I stated). On paper, no less than, the Rokid Ai Glasses Model seem 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 information but. We should always hear extra at CES 2026 in a couple of weeks.
