Rokid · 2024 · AR — wearable display
Rokid Max 2
A 75 g wearable display with a dioptre dial — and 3DoF only inside Rokid's own software.
{{name}} — specification and verdict
The Max 2 weighs 75 g, at the light end of this class, with 1920×1080 micro-OLED per eye, 50°, up to 600 nits, and a dioptre dial from 0.00D to −6.00D that covers most short-sightedness without inserts. Plugged into a laptop or console it is a straightforward mirrored screen.
The 3DoF anchoring appears only inside Rokid's own software — its belt-worn puck or its phone application — so on a plain USB-C source the screen simply follows your head. Nothing installs on the glasses, and any Android application would live on the puck or the phone.
A good, light second screen; not a work device.

Overview
- ManufacturerWho makes it — and who you buy support from.
- Rokid
- CategoryWhich kind of product this is. It decides which rows below make sense at all.
- AR — wearable display
- Device typeWhere the computing happens, and therefore what you need to run it.
- Phone-powered AR
- ReleasedYear the model went on sale. Older is not automatically worse in this category.
- 2024
- AvailabilityWhether you can still order it new today.
- On sale
- Support endsThe date the manufacturer stops supporting it. Decisive for a fleet you are about to buy.
- Support ends: Specifications checked against the manufacturer's page on 2026-08-04.
Company rollout
- Third-party appsHow a third party's application reaches the device: an ordinary Android package, a vendor-only SDK, or not at all.
- App lives on the phone
- Runs Skillsive appsOur own statement about whether Skillsive training applications run on it today.
- No
- Suitable for trainingOur judgement on whether it survives real deployment: comfort, hygiene, fleet management.
- Suitable for training: Specifications checked against the manufacturer's page on 2026-08-04.
- CertificationsIndustrial certifications stated on the manufacturer's own page. Empty means unconfirmed, never "probably fine".
- Certifications: Specifications checked against the manufacturer's page on 2026-08-04.
Platform and performance
- Where it computesWhether the device computes on its own or depends on a phone, PC or belt-worn puck.
- Driven by a phone
- ProcessorThe processor and memory inside. This is what the performance grade above is derived from.
- Processor: Specifications checked against the manufacturer's page on 2026-08-04.
- MemoryRAM on the device. Together with the chipset it sets how complex a scene can be.
- Memory: Specifications checked against the manufacturer's page on 2026-08-04.
- PlatformThe platform an application is built against — and what an MDM has to speak.
- USB-C DisplayPort
- BatteryRuntime as the manufacturer states it. A hot-swappable pack matters more than the figure.
- Battery: Specifications checked against the manufacturer's page on 2026-08-04.
Display and optics
- DisplayHow the image is produced. "No display" is a real answer in this category, not a gap.
- Birdbath optics
- Eyes coveredOne eye or both. Over a full shift this is a real difference in fatigue.
- Both eyes
- Resolution per eyePixels delivered to each eye. Higher means small text and labels stay readable.
- Resolution per eye: Specifications checked against the manufacturer's page on 2026-08-04.
- Refresh rateImages per second. Higher feels smoother and helps people prone to motion discomfort.
- Refresh rate: Specifications checked against the manufacturer's page on 2026-08-04.
- Field of viewHow much of your view the image covers. Bigger is more immersive, not automatically better for work.
- 50°
- Pixel densityPixels per degree of view — the honest way to compare sharpness between a headset and a pair of glasses. Higher is sharper. Only shown where somebody published it; we never compute it ourselves.
- Pixel density: Specifications checked against the manufacturer's page on 2026-08-04.
- BrightnessIn a plant or outdoors, brightness decides legibility more than resolution does.
- 600 nits
- WeightThe device alone. Anything above roughly 150 g is felt within an hour.
- 75 g
Tracking and input
- TrackingWhether content stays put in the room (6DoF), follows head rotation (3DoF) or is simply fixed.
- 3DoF (rotation only)
- Hand trackingWhether bare hands can operate the interface, without a controller or the phone.
- No
Connectivity and audio
- ConnectivityHow it connects to a phone, a PC or a network.
- Connectivity: Specifications checked against the manufacturer's page on 2026-08-04.
- AudioBuilt-in sound. Matters most where somebody has to hear a remote expert while working.
- Audio: Specifications checked against the manufacturer's page on 2026-08-04.
- MicrophoneBuilt-in microphone — the other half of talking to a remote expert.
- Microphone: Specifications checked against the manufacturer's page on 2026-08-04.
- CameraA camera is what makes a remote expert call and photo documentation possible.
- No
Price
- Price bandThe band it sits in, rather than a price that goes stale.
- Mid range
- Launch priceThe manufacturer's launch price. Fixed history, so it never goes stale.
- $529
