These smart glasses are similar Meta Ray-Bans, but support Google’s Gemini - 9to5Google

As smart glasses continue to grow in popularity, we’re seeing more options and more features. Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses are perhaps among the most popular, and a similar pair of smart glasses from Rokid offers a very similar experience, now with Google’s Gemini assistant on call.

Rokid AI glasses are, in several ways, pretty similar to Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses. The “Style” model announced earlier this year packs open-ear speakers, a 12MP camera, and a voice assistant at the ready. The $299 smart glasses weigh in 38.5g, offer battery life up to 12 hours (way longer than Meta), and have the same processor and camera as Meta’s glasses.

In a software update announced earlier this month, Rokid opened up support for more AI assistant choices, including Google Gemini.

Rokid, a global pioneer in AI-powered smart eyewear and human–computer interaction, has released a significant software update for the international version of its Rokid Glasses, becoming the world’s first manufacturer to natively support Google’s Gemini on the device. The update integrates four leading large language models—Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Alibaba’s Qwen—into a unified platform.

Users can swap back and forth between AI assistants, but there’s no description as to what each assistant can do on the glasses, though it’s presumably not as simple as piping in the assistant from your connected phone.

Rokid “Style” is available now for $299.
