Compared to the previous generation of Rokid Air, the new Rokid Max has greatly improved its hardware specifications and user experience, with higher visual quality, lighter body, more comfortable wearing, added external anti leakage light, and support for directional audio privacy protection. It has been fully optimized in many aspects, and the experience is really much better than the previous generation Air. Its comprehensive quality is second to none in the current BB camp. In terms of appearance, the Rokid Max design is still mainly streamlined, and the glasses body is very round, similar to the previous generation Rokid Air, but the overall design is more minimalist. The main manifestation is that the Rokid Max adopts a closed design, which makes the overall design feel more compact.
The Rokid Max weighs only 75g, and the thickest part of the front end is only 18.5mm, making it look very lightweight overall. The design of the mirror legs is also very slim, making it easy to hold after folding and storing.
Rokid Max comes with a front cover plate, which is mainly designed to block external light interference and achieve a more immersive viewing effect. Rokid has also made great efforts to personalize the outer lenses, and there will be more versions to choose from in the future, such as wood grain style and bright red style.
Optical, audio, and wearable upgrades in multiple directions
Of course, the product experience is the key, and we will also discuss the hardware improvements of Rokid Max in the following section. In order to gain a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the mysteries behind Rokid MAX product design. We also interviewed Du Hui, Vice President of Rokid, Head of Hardware Design Center, and Xia Kai, Head of Industrial Design at Rokid, from which we learned more details.
They stated that Rokid Max is a product that fully collects user feedback from the first generation of Air for specific optimization. For example, among Air users, the demand for viewing is the strongest, and the demand for cloud games is expanding. At the same time, the momentum of new cloud office is slowly rising. Max fully integrates these needs and breaks through them one by one.
1. 50 degree FOV new module, greatly improving visual performance
Visually, Rokid Max adopts a brand new BirdBath module, paired with Sony MicroOLED screens, providing excellent visual effects. The most intuitive feature is a wider field of view, with Max's FOV reaching 50 degrees, which is equivalent to providing a 215 inch virtual large screen effect at a distance of 6 meters. The previous generation of Air only had 43 degrees, which increased the relative display area by nearly 50%, making it very intuitive to wear. In addition to the larger FOV, the BirdBath module on Max also has higher optical quality. In fact, in the BridBath solution, ghosting, stray light, and other factors have a significant impact on the experience. Du Hui said, "Our latest mass-produced Max is currently the best and most indexed BB product you can find. We have eliminated stray light, rainbow light, ghosting, and other factors, greatly improving the clarity of the edges and corners. It has been optimized to make the eyes feel no sensation after wearing it for 2 hours, making it look very easy." The diopter adjustment has also changed, Rokid Air supports 0-500 degree myopia adjustment, while Rokid Max is upgraded to 0-600
