NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rokid, a pioneer in human-computer interaction and augmented reality, today announced the successful completion of its Kickstarter campaign for Rokid Glasses, raising an extraordinary $3,613,470 from over 5,000 backers in 45 days. This achievement ranks Rokid among the highest-funded wearable technology projects in Kickstarter history and establishes a new global record for XR (Mixed Reality) campaigns.
Breaking Records: A New Era of Everyday Mixed Reality
The campaign's success underscores the accelerating demand for practical, intelligent wearables that integrate into daily life. The Rokid Glasses campaign now holds the highest-ever Kickstarter funding total for any XR device, surpassing all previous records set by global AR and smart glasses projects. The campaign's rapid rise, reaching over $1 million within the first three days, and its sustained international traction over 45 days illustrate a fundamental market shift: users are no longer waiting for Big Tech's vision of the future, but funding their own.
Weighing just 49 grams, Rokid Glasses are the world's lightest full-function AI & AR smart glasses. Built on the Qualcomm AR1 platform, the device features dual Micro LED waveguide displays, a 12-megapixel Sony IMX681 camera, and integrated AI-powered tools such as real-time translation, object recognition, live transcription, navigation, teleprompter functions, and voice interaction.
Rokid Glasses is raising the bar for what consumers expect from smart eyewear, showing that functional glasses are ready for mainstream adoption.
Challenging Industry Standards
Rokid's achievement directly challenges industry leaders like Meta, whose Ray-Ban Display smart glasses have sparked consumer interest but are limited by availability and a closed ecosystem. Unlike competitors, Rokid's open platform offers greater freedom and capabilities. Its main features are compatible with ChatGPT, Gemini, Google Maps, Microsoft Translator, and custom large language models via Rokid's Open SDK, enabling users to connect with the world in new ways.
"Meta has reintroduced smart glasses to the market," said Zoro Shao, Global General Manager of Rokid. "But Rokid is pushing the limits of what's possible. We are thrilled to have set a new Kickstarter funding record in this category. Surpassing $3.6 million validates our direction that users are seeking intelligence, freedom, and genuine usability. We are hoping to set more new standards in wearable AI."
Global Momentum: From Launch to Movement
The campaign's success was propelled by a global community of supporters spanning over 80 countries. Rokid's "Future in Sight" global launch developed into a full-scale world tour, featuring live events and demos across the United States, Germany, Singapore, France, and beyond. The tour offers hands-on experiences, uniting thousands of developers, creators, and early adopters within its expanding ecosystem.
Alongside the campaign, Rokid launched the "Go Global with Rokid Glasses" initiative. The program invited users and creators worldwide to fund and share their dream adventures through Rokid's immersive technology.
Under the slogan "Your Story, Our Ticket: Explore the World Through Rokid Glasses," participants documented their travels using Rokid's AI-assisted storytelling tools to bridge languages and cultures. From desert explorers to urban storytellers, Rokid directly supported dozens of creator journeys, highlighting the power of technology not only to connect people but to amplify human creativity and empathy.
Looking Ahead
Rokid's achievement represents more than a crowdfunding milestone; it marks the beginning of a new phase for the wearable AI industry. By merging augmented reality, AI intelligence, and cultural exploration, Rokid is establishing a new global benchmark for mixed reality experiences. With the campaign now complete, Rokid is shifting focus from crowdfunding to global rollout.

Limited-Time 618 Promotion Offers Savings on Selected Health and Wellness Products
HONG KONG, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As summer approaches, the enthusiasm for running, fitness, and outdoor activities continues to heat up. Coupled with the recent buzz around international sporting events, many people are staying up late to follow live matches while maintaining their regular daily work routines, leading to a much more fast-paced lifestyle. Facing the physical exhaustion brought on by high temperatures, workouts, and changes in daily routines, how to maintain peak condition through daily nutritional supplementation and a healthy diet has become a major focus for many. The global cross-border health e-commerce platform, iHerb, has carefully selected 9 popular items—ranging from sports nutrition and daily supplements to high-protein snacks and practical sports accessories—to accompany consumers in embracing a vibrant and energetic summer.
Simultaneously, iHerb is launching its "618 Limited-Time Offer." From June 12 to June 20, new customers can enter the promo code "618HK30" at checkout to enjoy a 30% discount, while existing customers can use the code "618SALE26" for a 27% discount.

In response to summer sports needs and changing lifestyle rhythms, iHerb has organized its recommendations into three main nutritional directions to help consumers confidently tackle the heat and physical challenges.
Elevate Sports Performance: Build Your Summer Mobility
In recent years, the number of people engaging in fitness, running, and outdoor sports has continued to grow, with many paying closer attention to pre- and post-workout nutrition. California Gold Nutrition's "Pure Creatine Monohydrate" is highly favored by those focused on sports performance and daily training, becoming a hot item among the fitness community. Meanwhile, the brand's "Organic MCT Oil" is beloved by fitness enthusiasts and those on ketogenic diets; it can be easily added to coffee, drinks, or daily meals as a convenient nutritional boost.
Besides nutritional supplements, sports accessories are equally essential. The iHerb Goods "Blender Bottle with Blender Ball" is not only portable but also ensures that whey protein, sports drinks, or nutritional powders are mixed quickly and evenly, making it a must-have accessory for many gym-goers.
Maintain Your Energy for Late-Night Matches: Daily Nutrition is Indispensable
With the recent surge in international sports events, many fans are staying up late to catch the games. Facing disrupted sleep schedules and the need for prolonged focus, maintaining balanced nutrition is crucial. Metagenics "OmegaGenics® 5-in-1 Fish Oil" is rich in premium EPA and DHA with a natural, easy-to-consume lemon flavor, serving as an essential foundational supplement for those who frequently eat out or stay up late.
Doctor's Best "High Absorption Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate 100% Chelated (Albion® TRAACS®)" provides a reliable daily source of minerals and is highly sought after by those who value a high quality of life, good rest, and regular routines. Additionally, Doctor's Best "PepZin GI® Zinc-L-Carnosine" has become a popular choice for daily wellness management. It offers a versatile nutritional solution perfectly suited for the fast-paced, high-dining-out lifestyle of modern consumers.
Fueling the Whole Family: High-Protein Snacks and Daily Nutrition in One Go
Beyond sports enthusiasts and sports fans, summer is also peak season for family outings and outdoor activities. Nature's Way "Alive!® Kids Chewable Multivitamin" for kids, featuring an orange berry flavor, has become a popular choice for daily family nutritional support.
For those looking to balance great taste with nutritional benefits, high-protein snacks are a trendy choice. KIND Bars "Dark Chocolate Cocoa Breakfast Protein Bars" combines rich chocolate flavor with protein replenishment, making it a perfect afternoon snack or post-workout boost. The Atkins "Protein Cookies - Chocolate Chip" offers both great texture and convenience, becoming a new favorite guilt-free snack for office workers, gym-goers, and late-night sports fans.
618 Limited-Time Offer Begins: Up to 30% Off on Wellness Essentials
iHerb hopes that through its diverse product selections and cross-border direct delivery services, it can help consumers easily find the health supplements that suit them best during the summer sports season, travels, and lifestyle changes.
