I tried Rokid's AI + AR glasses for a month, and the general 'bad vibes' I have around wearables are slowly subsiding, but I can't stop worrying about my personal data
I tested Rokid's new AI + AR glasses for a month — here's how they fared.
After testing Rokid's AI + AR glasses for a month, I found myself slowly becoming more comfortable with the general skepticism I had towards wearables. However, concerns about personal data still lingered. Rokid's privacy policy, while not as concerning as anticipated, still captures voice content and location data, which can be stored indefinitely.
While there are ways to request deletion of data, it's an important aspect to consider if privacy is a major concern. The glasses feature Micro-LED displays that project AI assistant responses and offer real-time translations across 89 languages, as well as navigational guidance. I appreciated the lightweight design and the ability to order prescription lenses, making them a more comfortable option for someone who wears glasses full-time.
Despite the higher price point, the glasses impressed me with their seamless navigation and teleprompter features. However, image quality, particularly for photos and videos, fell short of expectations for the price, leaving much to be desired.
