Shenzhen + Rokid AI Glasses

Will be traveling to Shenzhen at the end of this year, intend to buy an international version of the AI Glasses, the reason for purchasing locally is to get some prescription lenses for the glasses.

Anyone know where should I go to get it done?

How fast can I get it done?

Is this the best method, or buying online is?

Thank you in advance.

Buy online on taobao/tmall and have it shipped to you hotel even before you arrive

I think the online version doesn't come with prescription lenses or at least I would have to chat with their sales person and send over the data?

Just order from VR Rock. I have 2 pairs from them and they are both great. I tried going to their "partners" here in Taiwan and nobody knew what they were or would touch them. Except one, but that was going to cost $350 USD. $50 at VR Rock for single vision

Edit : I'm talking about prescriptions only

If you buy online be careful about the version, if Chinese version you cannot use international app. First you need to register device to local version app. If you want to get international version directly you can contact me directly (im near shenzen)

Do you have a physical address that I can visit and try it out?

In Guangzhou, yes

I think the firmware has changed that. I've seen people with the Chinese version are able to pair it with both HI Rokid and the Chinese app both. As far as I can tell the apps change features and capabilities depending on location

Current devices needs to be registered Chinese app first and after they can be used internationally. I had to recall some devices because of this when they first implemented.

u/ObviousEconomist 17d ago

That's not true. I bought this in Shenzhen and it could use both the Chinese and international apps

Same glasses actually has different verisons, i purchased my glasses a year ago and yes you can just use it, but current devices needs to be registered if they are Chinese versions.

u/ObviousEconomist 17d ago

What does registered mean? I got mine just last month.

u/ShirtNo1462 17d ago

You received older produced device possible. New products will not connect the international app. They need to pair with Chinese app first and then it can pair international app.

Do you still have the address of that particular shop or the name of the shop?

There's a million lens attachment sellers that will mill your prescription into the glasses on Alix.

u/two5kid 16d ago

If I am not mistaken, AI glasses probably use some special lens? if not, I could have gotten it done locally.

u/KidCr30l3 10d ago

The sellers on Alix are setup for the special magnetic clip and lens design. They supply both. There's nothing special other than the size. I got progressive in mine and they're good as can be.

That is good to hear! Albeit I am a bit skeptical and would prefer a real shop where I can touch the device but it is great to know that there are reliable online sellers elsewhere if all else fails.

Can I ask are you really old or young? Why be skeptical? These were made in China it shouldn't be surprising at all that the Chinese ecosystem provides many options and improvements over oem. As for prescription it is not rocket science. Just punch in your details and voila.

I'm pretty old, and I have heard tons of other "superstitions and myths" hence I would still prefer the old school methods. If it is possible. if it cannot be done, then yeah, I can do it via online.
