Rokid AR Lite spatial computing suite unveiled
Rokid, the company behind augmented reality (AR) products such as the Rokid Max AR glasses and Rokid Station, has unveiled a new product: the Rokid AR Lite spatial computing suite. This kit, which includes the Rokid Max 2 glasses and the Rokid Station 2 host unit, enables users to experience spatial computing features such as:
- Multiscreen Mode enables multi-task collaborative processing and super-large screen displays, allowing for screen sizes up to an equivalent of a 300-inch screen from 6 meters away.
- Motion Mode offers superior picture stabilization for travel scenarios, reducing motion-induced dizziness for comfortable use in vehicles.
- Spatial Screen Casting extends multi-platform content display capabilities, enabling fast wireless screen casting for an ultra-wide 32:9 display experience.
- Enhanced Cloud and Bluetooth Connectivity through the YodaOS-Master system supports NAS and cloud drives with 100GB of free storage and instant pairing with foldable wireless keyboards, merging desktop PC efficiency with AR portability.
The Rokid Station 2, which serves as a compute unit, is based on the company's YodaOS-Master operating system, packs a 5000mAh battery and features dual Type-C ports with18W fast charging support. The second component of this suite is the Rokid Max 2 glasses and packs the following features:
- Intelligent Interpupillary Distance Adjustment: Unlike passive systems, the Rokid Max 2 introduces an active, user-initiated adjustment mechanism for interpupillary distance (IPD). This feature is accessible through a quick-access menu within the system settings, allowing users to fine-tune the field of view via software for optimal visual clarity and comfort.
- Non-Destructive Diopter Adjustment: Catering to the needs of the nearsighted population, the Rokid Max 2 offers a seamless diopter adjustment capability. This feature ensures that users can achieve clear visuals without the need for additional prescription lenses, supporting a diopter range from 0.00D to -6.00D.
- Ultra-Light Air Nose Pads: The design incorporates ultra-light air nose pads, which reduce pressure on the nose bridge by 30%. This innovation not only enhances comfort during extended wear but also addresses the common issue of discomfort associated with traditional AR glasses.
- Bendable and Soft Ergonomic Temples: The Rokid Max 2 glasses feature soft, flexible temple arms designed to conform to the user's ear contours. This design choice ensures a snug and comfortable fit, eliminating the discomfort often caused by rigid temple arms.
While there is no release date for the Rokid Lite AR suite, the company will be launching a Kickstarter campaign for the product. Caution is advised for any crowdfunding campaigns but Rokid has a decent track record in shipping and supporting its products. Given the recent popularity of AR glasses as gaming companions to extend displays, it will be interesting to see how the Rokid Lite AR suite fares in this regard.
