Rokid Expands Its Smart Glasses Availability in France at VivaTech 2026
Rokid Expands Smart Glasses Market in France
Rokid, a leader in AI-powered smart glasses and human-computer interaction, made a significant impact at the VivaTech 2026, one of the world's premier innovation events, held in Paris. This was Rokid's first appearance at the fair, and it coincided with the 10th anniversary of VivaTech’s Champs-Élysées Showcase, where the company exhibited the latest developments in augmented reality and smart eyewear.
At the event, Rokid showcased its innovative smart glasses, which incorporate a unique AI ecosystem designed to enhance productivity and daily life. The flagship products include the Rokid Glasses featuring Micro-LED displays and the display-less Rokid Ai Glasses Neo. With capabilities such as real-time translations in 89 languages, transcription, and visual search via multiple AI assistants, these devices will now be officially available on the French market.
Partnership with Krysto
To broaden the accessibility of its smart glasses, Rokid has entered into a strategic partnership with Krys, a leading retailer in Paris. This collaboration aims to bring the full spectrum of Rokid products into physical stores, making it easier for consumers in France to acquire smart eyewear, including prescription options. This move not only enhances product availability but also strengthens Rokid's European supply chain, paving the way for future success in the region.
The Rokid Glasses will be sold at a price of €799, while the Rokid Ai Glasses Neo will be priced at €449. Additionally, the glasses will be available through major online retailers in France, including Fnac, Darty, Cdiscount, and Boulanger, ensuring a wide reach.
Celebrating European Entry
Rokid's participation in VivaTech represents a crucial milestone in the company's European strategy, following its entry into the German market just months prior in April 2026. According to Zoro Shao, General Manager of Rokid Global, meeting with trailblazers and experts at the event highlighted a shared acknowledgment that smart glasses have become integral tools in everyday life, and their potential has yet to be fully realized.
The interest in Rokid's offerings is palpable, with the Rokid Glasses recently raising nearly 4 million USD through a crowdfunding campaign on Japan's Makuake platform, underscoring the global demand for their innovative technologies.
Founded in 2014, Rokid has emerged as an international pioneer in augmented reality and AI technology, integrating seamless intelligent solutions into daily life. The company has developed the first open AI ecosystem for wearables, alongside multilingual voice interaction, intuitive AI shortcuts, and mass-produced smart glasses with displays.
As Rokid elevates its presence in France, the company looks forward to establishing a significant footprint in the European tech landscape, continuing to innovate and deliver cutting-edge technology to consumers worldwide, transforming the ways people interact with the virtual and real worlds simultaneously.
