Rokid’s CEO Zhu Mingming Talks Tech Revolution & Digital Inclusion
Move over, sci-fi fantasies – augmented reality just got real! 🚀 Rokid made waves this week by launching the world’s first AR glasses with integrated payment capabilities, blending everyday convenience with cutting-edge tech. Founder Zhu Mingming sat down with CGTN to share how this innovation could reshape everything from shopping to social connectivity.
💡 "We’re not just building gadgets – we’re building bridges," Zhu told reporters, highlighting Rokid’s push to make AI tools accessible through open-source platforms. The glasses’ payment feature, developed with Alipay, lets users complete transactions with voice commands – think ordering bubble tea hands-free while navigating a busy street!
But it’s not all smooth sailing. Zhu admitted the team faced "late-night coding marathons" and hardware hurdles to keep the sleek design intact. The bigger vision? Using AR to tackle the digital divide: "Imagine farmers accessing crop data through smart lenses or students learning anatomy in 3D." 🌱📚
With global AR markets projected to hit $88 billion by 2026, this tech could soon be as common as smartphones. Ready to see the world through new lenses? 👀
