- The AI-powered sunglasses don’t have a screen, and use voice commands
- The Rokid AI Glasses Style are powered by ChatGPT-5
Screenless AI wearables are quietly having a moment — and Rokid’s new AI Glasses Style may be the clearest sign yet of where smart glasses are heading.
Launched at CES as a new competitor to Meta’s Ray-Ban AI glasses, the Rokid AI Glasses Style ditch the screen and lower the price point in the process. And while the Rokid AI Glasses Style don’t carry the Ray-Ban logo on the frame, they look strikingly similar to Meta’s AI eyewear.
Interestingly, the Rokid AI Glasses Style are designed without a display at all, which allows them to stay lightweight at just 38.5 g. At $299, they’re also $80 cheaper than Meta’s offering.
The Rokid AI Glasses Style are activated with a simple voice command – “Hey Rokid”. They’re designed for voice-first AI tasks like asking about what you’re seeing, translating conversations in real time, and summarizing meetings – all without pulling out your phone.
It all works thanks to its built-in AI assistant, which is powered by ChatGPT-5.
All-day battery
Using the built-in 12 MP camera, you can take photos via a spoken command – “Hey Rokid, take a photo” – or shoot 4K video logs hands-free.
The glasses offer up to 12 hours of battery life, which should be enough to get you through a full day. There’s also an optional 3,000mAh charging case and a 1,700mAh capsule battery for extended use.
The Rokid AI Glasses Style are available now for pre-order, which gives you priority shipping and a $20 discount. The glasses can also be fitted with prescription lenses in a range of colors.
Say goodbye to your phone in 20206?
While screenless AI devices have existed for some time, they’ve so far failed to grab the public’s imagination. That appears to be changing and we’re reaching something of a turning point.
The shift arguably began with the upcoming wearable ChatGPT device from OpenAI, designed by Jony Ive, was announced. The device is rumored to arrive in the first quarter of 2026. As this year’s CES is already showing, screenless AI devices may be leading the next wave of hardware.
Razer has just unveiled its Motoko headphones at CES – an audio-first wearable that can “see” the world around you but communicate entirely through voice – and now Rokid has announced AI-powered, screenless glasses that look capable of giving Meta’s Ray-Ban sunglasses a real run for their money.
If Rokid is right, 2026 won’t be about replacing your phone. It’ll be about needing it a little less, so long as the sun is out.
