First of all, Rokid AR Lite’s multi-screen mode can meet all multi-tasking collaborative processing needs. In addition to multi-screen use, Rokid AR Lite can also achieve super giant screen display, and can adjust the size and distance of the virtual screen arbitrarily, up to a 300-inch super large screen equivalent to 6 meters away.

In the giant screen mode, you can also turn on the sports mode, which can achieve better picture stabilization in daily bumpy scenes such as cars and airplanes, and reduce the dizziness caused by external environment jitters.

Secondly, in order to better extend multi-platform content and display, Rokid AR Lite has also designed a space projection function. Regardless of whether it is an Android phone, iOS phone, or Mac computer, as long as it is connected to the same network as Station2, it can quickly wirelessly cast the screen and instantly turn the small screen into a 32:9 ultra-widescreen.

Rokid AR Lite also supports the rapid sharing of multi-end content. Through "remote transmission", the content on the mobile phone can be quickly synchronized to Station2. Android phones also support the synchronization of apk files for installation on Station2 through "flying transmission". It can also quickly transfer pictures, videos, documents, applications and other content between multiple Station2s.

Finally, the self-developed space operating system YodaOS-Master file management natively supports NAS and cloud disks, and can use 100G storage for free and unlimited. At the same time, the scope of video content support has been expanded, supporting hard decoding of 4K 30-frame videos. Through the file manager, you can quickly select content to synchronize to “Memories” for playback.

Rokid AR Lite also optimizes the connection of wireless Bluetooth peripherals. It can connect to the folding (scrolling) wireless keyboard in one second, which is equivalent to having the office typing efficiency of a desktop PC and the portability and three-dimensional display characteristics of AR glasses.

In order to consolidate the travel scene experience, after Rokid and Hainan Airlines’ first cross-border cooperation to jointly create the world’s first AR flight, Rokid will join hands with Loong Airlines to create a “new entertainment travel plan” that will soon be launched. In the next month from April 23rd to May 23rd, users will experience the cloud travel AR entertainment brought by Rokid on the plane.

In the home office scenario, Rokid has also reached in-depth cooperation with Alibaba Cloud and Evernote respectively. Alibaba Cloud Disk has been configured for Rokid AR, integrating excellent cloud storage capabilities are systematically embedded in the new generation space operating system YodaOS-Master. The future cooperation between Rokid and Evernote will support users to view and edit notes anytime and anywhere on Rokid AR devices, bringing users a more intelligent, three-dimensional and free way to present content and process notes.

In the outdoor comprehensive scene, the Rokid R&D team cooperated with Qualcomm Technologies to achieve multiple performance optimizations. Many functions of the YodaOS-Master space operating system achieved the expected results and perfectly achieved The three-window high refresh rate provides the ultimate display effect, satisfying users’ ultimate pursuit of movie watching, gaming, and office work.
