Rokid Showcases Inclusive AR Innovation at IOT Solutions World Congress 2025 as Part of WAIA Pavilion
Held at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, IOTSWC is one of the most influential platforms for industrial IoT and digital transformation. This year's edition featured more than 400 exhibitors and drew participation from government leaders, industry executives, and global technology pioneers. Rokid participated as one of six standout enterprises from Yuhang District, Hangzhou, underscoring the region's growing influence and export-readiness of its innovation ecosystem in the global digital economy.
During the WAIA Forum, Zoro Shao, Rokid's Global General Manager, delivered a powerful keynote highlighting the impact of Rokid Glasses, from supporting the visually impaired and elderly individuals with hearing loss, to empowering children with communication challenges and cyclists navigating urban traffic.
"Our glasses act as a bridge," Zoro explained. "When someone speaks, their words appear as real-time subtitles on the lens. Uncle Zhang used to sit silently during family calls. Now, he's the one making his grandkids laugh every day. That's the kind of human connection technology should enable."
With a lighthearted moment, Zoro added: "Also, have you guessed it? Yes, my speech script is right here in my glasses! This makes public speaking a breeze for someone as shy as I am. I've actually been reading the script all along!"
As part of this official opening ceremony, high-level dignitaries, including Mr. Albert Tort Puigbet, Secretary of Telecommunications of Catalunya; Ms. Maria Galindo i Garcia-Delgado, Secretary of Digital Policies; Mr. Constanti Serrallonga, General Director of Fira Barcelona; Mr. Enric Jové, Counselor of Corporate Strategy at the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce; and Hon. Mr. Yuhong Meng, Consul General of China in Barcelona, visited the WAIA Pavilion. Rokid welcomed the delegation with live demonstrations and engaged in cross-border dialogue.
By showcasing these breakthrough products like the Rokid Glasses and AR Spatial, Rokid demonstrated how Chinese enterprises are reshaping the future of IoT and AI-enabled experiences in Europe and beyond.
Rokid's involvement in IOTSWC through WAIA reflects a shared mission: to drive global ecosystem integration, champion responsible innovation, and promote cross-border collaboration in AIoT. Through industry forums, product demonstrations, and international matchmaking, Rokid helped demonstrate how AR and AI technologies are applied to enhance mobility, accessibility, safety, and real-world productivity.
The participation follows Rokid's earlier global showcases at CES 2025 and Milan Design Week 2025, where AR Spatial was honored with the ZONA SARPI AWARD for AR Technological Aesthetic Design, cementing the company's growing presence across consumer, enterprise, and design-focused markets.

Rokid's AR glasses are the wearable monitors you need, and they are now 30% off for Prime Day
Bogdan Petrovan / Android Authority The idea of smart AR glasses is an enticing one — imagine continuing your work, catching up on movies and TV shows, or playing your favorite games on a large screen, even when you're away from your monitor or TV. The technology is evolving, and evolving rapidly, going from large, bulky devices that weren't particularly powerful, to sleek, 'regular' frames that will give you a theatre-like experience wherever you are. And one name to remember in this space is Rokid. There's little you can't do with Rokid's AR glasses — the Rokid Max 2, Max, and the AR Joy bundle — allowing you to carry your work, entertainment, and gaming in your pocket. And this week, you can jump into the AR space for cheap with Rokid's Prime Day deals. Here's what you need to know. Rokid Max 2: More comfort, improved performance The Rokid Max 2 features a Micro-OLED panel, providing a massive 215-inch Full HD screen wherever you are. You'll also get a 50° field of view, more than most competitors, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a solid 600 nits brightness. The overall image quality is excellent, with colors that pop and plenty of sharp detail, letting you enjoy all your favorite content on the go. If you wear prescription glasses, the Max 2 comes with focus dials built in for near-sighted adjustments from 0.00 to -6.00. And for everything else, you can order prescription lenses that are extremely easy to swap out, making the Max 2 a great fit for families, even if everyone wears 'normal' glasses. Compatibility is one of the Rokid Max 2's biggest positives. You can directly plug the AR glasses into any smartphone, tablet, laptop, or handheld gaming console with the USB-C cable, as long as the device supports DP output. You'll need adapters for everything else, but you can then add gaming consoles and the Nintendo Switch to the list. And to cover all your entertainment needs, we recommend getting the Rokid Station. This add-on accessory, which can also be purchased as part of the AR Joy package, brings the entire Google TV experience to these AR glasses. It's identical to what you'd get with any Android TV device, including access to thousands of movies and TV shows on your favorite apps like Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, and any app you can download from the Google Play Store. Whether you're commuting to work, on a plane, or just spending time outside, you'll never run out of content to watch. But if you plan to spend hours working, gaming, or watching videos while wearing these glasses, comfort is a crucial consideration. Again, that's another area in which the Rokid Max 2 excels. It's sleeker, lighter, and more similar to regular glasses compared to the previous generation. An upgraded soft air nose pad and flexible temple arms provide a more comfortable wearing experience, while a titanium alloy hinge adds durability. If you're looking for a wearable 'screen' to play games, watch movies, or get some work done on the go, the Rokid Max 2 is among the best AR glasses you can get. And for Prime Day, you can take advantage of a massive 30% discount, bringing its price down to just $379. Rokid Max and AR Joy bundle: Similar performance with a more affordable price tag While the Max 2 brings some improvements, particularly in the design and comfort departments, the first-generation Rokid Max remains an impressive option if you're after performance. Most things stay the same. You'll also get a 50° field of view, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 600 nits of brightness, along with a Full HD resolution. The image and sound quality are excellent, and it also comes with built-in near-sightedness correction. Compatibility is a highlight as well, with the Max usable with most smartphones, tablets, computers, and gaming consoles, handheld or otherwise. And for your entertainment needs, you can pick up the Rokid Station to get Google TV. The Rokid Max may not be as comfortable as the Max 2, but it can still be used for hours without issue. Other than that, you'll enjoy a largely similar viewing experience overall, and save a decent chunk of money as well. For Prime Day, Rokid is also offering a 30% discount on the Max, bringing its price down to just $259. If you're also planning to get the Rokid Station, which you should absolutely do, you can bundle the Max and Station for even more savings, with the AR Joy bundle priced at $348 during the sales event.

Rokid's new AR glasses are pretty much a face-hugging laptop in disguise
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Rokid's AR Spatial glasses ditch the traditional desk and toss a massive 300-inch virtual screen right in your face. At just 75 grams and made with aerospace-grade materials, the Max 2 glasses are built for long hauls, and they play nice with prescription eyewear. Powered by Rokid's own YodaOS Master, the system handles multiple windows and apps without the lag or bugginess you'd expect from typical AR gear. Rokid today released the AR Spatial glasses that aim to blend AR into your everyday life, ditching the usual desk setup and changing how (and where) you get things done. AR Spatial's setup pairs the Max 2 AR glasses with the new Station 2 hub, and together they whip up a giant 300-inch virtual screen that hangs in your line of sight. Rokid's announcement says it's built with the always-on-the-go crowd in mind, so it might just be useful for remote workers juggling apps or anyone tired of squinting at a cramped laptop screen in busy spots. The Max 2 AR glasses are lightweight at just 75 grams and tough enough thanks to aerospace-grade materials. They're comfy enough to wear for hours, and if you've got prescription glasses, they'll fit right over them without a hitch. These AR glasses also have built-in diopter adjustment from 0.00D to -6.00D for nearsighted users, plus customizable pupillary distance so everything lines up just right. AR Spatial skips the usual AR headache and just works with what you already have, like your phone, tablet, or laptop. If you want the full desktop experience, just hook up a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and you've got a portable setup that actually feels familiar. Rokid's AR Spatial runs on its own custom OS, YodaOS Master. You can juggle multiple virtual windows, jump between apps without lag, and skip the usual slowdowns that drag other AR glasses down. Rokid's AR Spatial has already made the rounds at big-name events like CES 2025 and Milan Design Week. It's not the cheapest gear out there, but at $648, the AR Spatial bundle brings a lot to the table. If you want to knock the price down, just punch in LAUNCH70 at checkout and it drops to $578. You can snag it now from Rokid's site or one of its retail partners.

Alipay Enables In-Store Payment Functionality in China for AR Glasses in Collaboration with Rokid to Build Immersive Commerce
Hangzhou, China: Over 250,000 units of Rokid Glasses have already been ordered, integrated with Alipay's digital payment technology for AR glasses. The integration of payments into AR glasses supports a future of seamless, intuitive commerce—enabling instant, gesture-based transactions, immersive product discovery, and new ways for businesses to engage customers. Rokid, a pioneer in augmented reality (AR), today launched Rokid Glasses, its latest AR device. In China, the product supports in-store payments facilitated by Alipay's digital payment technology and multidimensional risk control solution for AR glasses, providing a seamless and secure payment experience. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: Rokid partners with Alipay to launch China's first AR glasses with in-store payment capabilities. According to Rokid, the product will begin rolling out to users starting in June 2025, with over 250,000 units already ordered. How Payment via AR Glasses Works: Users link their Alipay account via the Rokid app and enable voice verification. In stores, they say: 'Rokid, pay 10 RMB.' The glasses scan the merchant's Alipay QR code. Users confirm by voice, with payment details shown on the display. Advantages of Payment via AR Glasses: Transactions complete in seconds vs. 20-30 seconds for phone-based QR payments. Hands-free operation—no need to handle a smartphone. 'Equipping Rokid Glasses with payment capabilities brings users a smoother and more intuitive experience, while also ushering the AI glasses industry into the era of payment. We believe this will set a new benchmark for the industry. Behind this innovation is close collaboration with Alipay on both payment and risk technologies. Looking ahead, we will continue to explore new experiences together,' said Zhu Mingming, Founder and CEO of Rokid. 'Rokid Glasses deliver a brand-new user experience. Alipay will fully support the growth of emerging industries and continue to create more value for users,' said Zhang Aijuan, Vice President of Ant Group and Rotating President of the Digital Payment Business Unit. The integration of payment functions into AR glasses points to a future of more seamless and intuitive commerce. In the coming years, this technology could enable people to complete transactions simply by looking at or gesturing toward a product, removing friction from both physical and digital shopping. It may support interactive product discovery—letting users access real-time information, virtual try-ons, or personalized recommendations—and make it possible to pay instantly without reaching for a phone or wallet. For businesses, this opens up new ways to engage customers through immersive experiences and location-specific offers. Alipay continues to innovate payment technology as a merchant's gateway to customer engagement in borderless commerce. In 2024, Alipay Tap! was launched to allow users to make payments simply by tapping their unlocked phone against a merchant terminal or an Alipay Tap! Tag—no need to open an app, scan a code, or navigate through multiple screens. As of April 2025, Alipay Tap! had already attracted over 100 million users.
