Rokid Max: The OLED Video Glasses You've Been Waiting For

The Pro model sounds interesting. 6dof tracking of the glasses would eliminate the problems that come with a fixed screen.

@@ThereisNOpandemicWAKEUP 6 degrees of freedom, means the head unit is tracked in all directions. You could then have a cinema screen not glued to your eyes, but in a certain corner of your room, allowing you to look elsewhere too.

What I would love on the Max Pro, is a rear camera attached near the USB C port area on the ear stem facing behind you, then you could have a separate video screen of your full rear view! Just like a rear view camera on a car, then while you are walking, you can see in front and behind you! How cool would that be!? No one could sneak up on you from behind and you would have a rudimentary 360 view!

[@rushmore3927]

The Rokid Airs were pretty much impossible to get a uniform image, but can adjust for vision. The Nreals had a uniform "square" image with no edge blur or distortion out of box- but no vision adjustment. Are these more like the Nreal Airs for image? IMO the Nreal Airs were far better in that regard. Both however have battery draining, resource heavy apps that I tried once and stopped using. Only use as external display.

[@RokidGlobal]

The image singularity is dependent on different individual's eye vision. Rokid will offer the prescription lens mount as an accessory to have users get their own prescription lenses. Overall Rokid Max is definitely better compared the last gen of Rokid Air, in almost every aspect!

but for PC still screen casting meaning it will shake on your head movments right,,, so still waiting for the AR fixed screen posistion mode?

[@gregclare]

This sounds really interesting! It’s a shame there were virtually no technical details discussed. I’m really interested in the 3D support. The website also says HDCP support. So I’m guessing you can even plug the HDMI adapter straight into a 3D Blu-ray player for direct 3D movie playback support? 120Hz is also good news, being a multiple of cinematic 24Hz. But, if plugged directly into a HDCP 3D Blu-ray player, does the glasses take care of the 24Hz to 120Hz Reprojection? So many questions. I can’t preorder until I have more answers.

[@gamemoves2415]

[@ralexand56]

doubt a blueray player would power it but I don't know.

[@gregclare]

@@ralexand56 That’s an interesting thought. The HDMI adapter they supply isn’t powered, and I understand the HDMI 5V power pin is only rated for about 50ma supply. So it does raise the question of how the glasses are powered when using the HDMI adapter? Unless 50ma is enough (unlikely).

[@ralexand56]

[@onikagebr]

So, what exactly is the computer unit (station)? Is it a standalone OS made by them, where I’ll need to download and use their KZbin and Netflix app? (Like a hardware dedicated to the Nebula app if it was an NReal device) Or, is it a wireless video transmissor that captures the image from my iPhone?

[@bat-amgalanbat-erdene2621]

my pure guess, but I think they're just selling an android phone without a display basically. Maybe the android version is more tailored for the product.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Why the hell would it be a wireless video transmitter?? You want a laggy experience??

[@onikagebr]

@@PSYCHOV3N0M current VR devices already have wireless adapters you can plug into the headset. If you have wifi 6 and the proper configuration you can already play wirelessly flawlessly. With the current technology we can already stream and play games with close to no additional latency and image decay. So if they say this unit is meant to fix the smartphone compatibility, it means we could access our phones using it as a wireless middleware. But I guess they are just selling us their own sort of Android based phone. Which means we will still not be able to use this glasses with an iPhone for example. (Btw, today with a steam deck you can flawlessly play your PS5 and PC games streaming them in your home wifi. No lag, virtually perfect image)

@@RokidGlobal I'm hoping that you also focus on the virtual office. Games are nice but most of your customers are grown ups and being able to setup multiple work screens would be a bigger selling point and game changer imo. Apple is about to release their product and I can almost guarantee they are going to ignore the virtual office market. It would be great if you could support a 4k virtual monitor. It could be like MS vs. Apple all over again. MS won that first battle because they focused on business users. I would even try to setup a partnership with MS. It's super tough trying to build your own ecosystems and tooling to support it. That's what MS can do in spades and you can give them the hardware to compete with Apple's consumer vr offerings.

[@PeterKoperdan]

If these glasses are AR that means that the transparency effect would reduce the contrast. What's the point of high contrast OLED screens when the environment light leaks through into the image?? For good viewing conditions you would have to watch stuff in complete darkness. The video glasses we have been waiting for is cheap light dumb frame with some good OLED screens and lenses that can display 1080p content via USB-C from both iPhones and Android phones. These companies need to stop with the gimmicky AR bullshit. Just give us Oculus Quest *micro* fully optimized for cinema experience where all the money is in the screens and lenses. It probably wouldn't even need 6DOF...

I really do think the Rokid Station is the future, You will have AR glasses as the screen, and a separate "puck" as its computing processor. The "phone" and the screen will be completely separate. This also fixes a lot of the size issues with cell phones, as the puck can be bigger than a cell phone, and not constrained by the screen size. Though I think the Rokid Station is in a similar place as the previous Rokid, you know it will be the future, but the current iteration isn't quite there.
