The Station 2 host, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 Platform, runs on Rokid’s proprietary YodaOS-Master operating system. It features a 5,000mAh battery, dual USB-C ports, and intuitive touch controls, ensuring a smooth and comprehensive user experience.
Key Features and Innovations
Rokid AR Lite is the first AR glasses system to incorporate the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 Mobile Platform, bringing smartphone-level performance to AR glasses. One of its standout features is the software-based Interpupillary Distance (IPD) adjustment system, which ranges from 53 to 75mm. This system, along with adjustable myopia dials (0.00 to 6.00D), ensures a personalized fit, reducing glare and ghosting for a more comfortable experience.

Spatial computing merges digital and physical environments, enabling users to interact with digital content in three dimensions. Rokid AR Lite exemplifies this technology, offering a full spatial computing experience with three degrees of freedom (3DoF). Users can interact with digital content from multiple perspectives through the Rokid Max 2 glasses and Station 2 host.
