I would be very interested if you can display 3d content? I mean, are the lenses separated or for both eyes the same? I doubt you get full VR like with a (cheaper) quest but then, the quest you would not use in public transport. Too big, too heavy.
Would live these for planes/trains and down time at work. Whish they were easier to get hold of and slightly cheaper, can't see the station on amazon and heard a lot of phones that have usbc don't support video out.
Very informative and well done, but no mention of a very important topic: eyesight adjustments (I'm nearsighted so I'm wondering about my options). FYI it's 688$ here in Canada.
The XREAL Air 2s with the Beam accessory are able to do what these glasses do, and are able to fix the viewable screen in space, as you talked about. It would be interesting to see you do a comparison, now that you've done the Rokids, to see what you think of the XREAL Air 2s. The XREAL Air 2s also offer a glasses accessory for those who wear glasses, although I'm unsure whether that means you would need the glasses accessory (if you wear corrective lenses) to view the content on the screens or just view the world through the lenses themselves like normal sunglasses, or potentially both.
They sell "inserts for lenses" where you can put prescription lenses on the inside. However, I think you have to order the lenses from them (actually technically from their partner)
I purchased the Rayneo AR 2 and I thought they were great except for - you couldn't watch streaming services like Netflix, Prime or Apple tv. No support for HDCP video. I love the concept, but the execution is very limited. Do the Rokid max suffer the same fate? What's the point of having wearable 200+ inch screens if you can't use them to watch anything.
I don't think these are worth it. I'm not "stuck to a brand," but compared to other brands, these aren't worth the money. The Xreal Air 2 has all of these things with a few added on, for $400. The Xreal Air 2 Pro costs $450 for local dimming added on (the lenses can go from clear to very dark with a touch of a button). It doesn't have screen casting, though, so it has to be connected to your phone via wire. Oh, and don't forget that these are way more obvious that they aren't normal glasses than the Xreal Air 2. These glasses that you showed off cost $500.
Awesome video, thx! What would be better solution for movie watching on the couch from NAS: A Quest 3 (or even Q2), or one of these AR "smart"glasses like Rokid Max or Xreal Air? I know Q is an MR headset, obviously they don't race in the same league , but still, my question can be valid from a movie standpoint, like LCD vs mOLED or nothing vs headband, or 3DoF vs 6 DoF, 50 FOV vs 110 FOV. Considering the prices also...
Hi there I only need this AR Glasses as bigger screen and movie screen for my galaxy S 20 and my Asus Laptop. Will it work with OS Linux? Thanks in advance for your friendly reply. Wolfgang from Germany
Ill never buy Rokid again and can only warn you guys. My Rokid Max showed heavy burn-in after less than a year and regular usage. Also their service played around with me and is very bad. They repeatedly wanted me, four times, to try filming the displays of the glasses, the wiring, and the display of my computer in various ways with different background images, only to then inform me that the warranty had expired ten days ago. They offered to send the glasses to China at my own expense, which would be higher than the purchase price.
I'll be sticking with my trusty (and old) iPad Air with Netflix and earphones for public transport entertainment, although that was a bit uncomfortable on the T4 when a lady got on at Merthyr, sat next to me and took a keen interest in what was on my screen (Narcos:Mexico as it happens). Unfortunately it seemed she clearly hadn't expressed such a keen interest in her bath that week.
It’s for this exact reason that I want these. Not that I’m watching anything questionable but I find it very annoying and rude when people on the bus watch your screen from over your shoulder or next to you, and it seems to happen a lot. I usually don’t have time to watch things at home so the bus is my go to for getting in some quality movie/series time and I value my privacy.
Basically, what i would prefer to do in mount the camera or dual cameras to a location with in 30 feet of myself. Then put the Rokid AR glasses on and watch & listen to what the camera is picking up realtime. Is this possible ?
It’s what I did when our baby was born! Was able to watch tv whilst holding him and without lighting up the room like a light show! Best tech for parents by far 😂
Hard Clarkson vibes. Disagree about the very bright displays. Theyre just bright enough. Would like them to go more bright. And I mean in pitch-black darkness. And I dont think you mentioned the 1080p resolution. People on youtube say that you cant see individual pixels. Well thats definetly not true when youre looking at a static image. Straight lines have obvious toothed patterns. You can see the single pixels, but theyre impossible to count one by one. 1440p resolution would be optimal. Something like the Goovis G3 max.. Dont think you mentioned the glare/reflections that are always present on darker backgrounds coming from the lenses. Causes imperfections on the image. Theyre always there, but you dont notice them, unless theres dark spots on the image. Just a limitation of using lenses, i guess. No way to fix.
How & what is needed to connect these glasses to my Win10-PC as a monitor, to ease strain on these old-eyes? I'm NOT a gamer, I'm just a web surfer/reader via Chrome or FF.
Would these AR Glasses work with the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G and would it also expand the screen to 360 when I connect directly to my Samsung phone. Thank you.
It could be interesting for immersive videoconferencing solutions. VR Teams or Webex, using the AR glasses instead of a headset and with normal webcam instead of avatars, would actually look relatively normal instead of being like a Daft Punk reunion. The FPV "spotter" law is interesting. If you need an unobscured view of the drone then do glasses count as an obscurity. How about sunglasses? The law would need to draw a line somewhere if they wanted to block their use, and would face potential legal challenges from vendors if that law appeared to be a little too targeted.
The image quality of Rokid Max is really nice. And my favorite part is the myopia adjustment because it's friendly to near-sighted people like me. WAY BETTER THAN xreal.
Nice video. Have you tried to play some mobile games with it? I like mmorpg where you play online with multiple players, have you experienced slowdowns with mobile gaming?
Wow you were really channeling jeremey clarkson on that one.. it was like a car show but about AR.. I have to wonder, since the tldr; here seems to be basically bolting a virtual computer monitor to your face; how in britain this would go with TV licencing.. are you likely to find yourself sitting on a double decker bus enjoying neighbours when you sudenly find yourself slam tackled to the ground by TV licencing goons?
Question: Can the Rokid AR Glasses work in conjunction with the Kodak Pixpro SP360 4K VR Camera ? And in a wireless fashion. What i am asking is: Can you wireless transmit from the camera to an Android Phone (yes), and then wireless transmit from the Android Phone to the Rokid AR Glasses ? And all in realtime ?
Both the x/nreal and the rokid max airs were so unavailable here in the uk unless your happy to send your money online to some seller you have no chance of ever seeing again once they've got your money so once cex was selling them used I jumped at a used b contioned nreal pair it came short of the nose bridge fittings only one size and a shorter than normal cable otherwise untested a load of cash changed hand over counter . Been living with them for few weeks now very happy not ever getting a projector again only 1 short coming is keeping the phone powered up same time which rokid hub would fix this problem for pass through powering up the USB c feed next a humi to USB c with game counsel ps4/5 try out would nice with the glasses but otherwise movies etc looks like 8k sharp & bright no regrets buying even used apart from shorter cable given
Price was less than a pound a day over 365 days as their the first type which currently sell for 339 lowest @300 they did seem over marked up being used but it was better than getting nothing in the post the beam next but reseller are overcharging in cost for it plus it need update to fix issue really unsure they interchangeable like the rokid hub USB - C
thanks great review, my only concern with using these types of glasses is impact on people's vision.. i'd love to hear an Ophthalmologist's advice. I guess at the minimum they would point to the 20/20/20 rule...but I also think that longterm frequent close focus with your eyes will have detrimental impact on depth vision/focusing in the long run. On the other hand, perhaps you can enable an app that forces you to do depth focusing exercises to train your eye muscles every 20 minutes, even interrupting movies/work etc that could then be a net benefit compared to traditional monitors/tvs
I have some fpv goggles that I bought years ago that work really well, they cost me about £75 iirc, ok not oled and not hd and not see through but small and light and good enough to watch a film on.
Which apps and accessories do I have to get to use the glasses for the Nintendo Switch?Which apps and accessories do I need to hook up to an Xbox?Which apps and accessories do I need to connect to an iPhone 15 Pro Max?Which apps and accessories do I need to hook up to a PlayStation 5?
Hey man, can you please, do a video about software development in Rokid?? What do I mean about that: - You dont need to be a developer - You just need to install visual studio code, copy any javascript code you can find in internet and paste in visual studio code - Tell us if it is possible to see the letters clearly or if there is any disconfort, distortion etc... Please, do it. Everybody is talking just about watching movies, playing games... but Rokid has a much more bigger potential than just that.
I did mention this - that the latency might impact this if doing it through streaming, however - if your controller supports image out through wired connection, there's going to be no lag at all.
It's not opinion, it's a fact. A lot of AR/VR tech is at these prices because the technology is new, form* factor is hard to shrink because of this. I'm not endorsing you to buy it, I'm merely providing you with the reality of the situation. @@Nite-owl
Isn't it unhealthy for your eye vision in the long term, to have look at close objects for a long time? And these are of course extremely close to the eyes. What do eye experts say?
Great question, as this device is a game changer in so many areas. If you imagine a flashlight pointed at your eyes, similar to tv brightness, I would think any bright lights may need to be toned down near the eye.
I disagree on that one - as wearable vision tech becomes more prevalent I think it will become commonplace. There was once a time where no one wore smart watches… now look around. 👀
AR has double the application of VR and VR has a ton of applications with damn near every industry on the planet. The change in safety margins will be incredible. I've always been more excited about AR than VR because AR can help everyone(with sight) in numerous ways. One such instance is hands-free emergency calling with direct feed and visual instructions for CPR and the like. Imagine the education system with these, lectures anywhere on a large screen, clear audio and you could get on-the-job experience from software created with the help of specialists.
Not until you pair these with a Samsung Dex compatible device is when you see how amazing the Rokid / Xreal Air devices are. :) Plug it in and in a second you have a full desktop computer experience with your phone's touch screen turning into a touch pad. It is truly futuristic and still blows my mind.
I spent five hundred on the glasses.I spent another four hundred on accessories.I couldn’t get anything to hook up to anything.I sent it all back to Amazon for a full refund.The technology is just not there yet.When you have to have this that and the other to operate the glasses,that is good sign the glasses are not ready yet.It’s a hoax
