It is true (still today), some do not cross the barrier of immersive technologies for two essential points : firstly, the fact of being cut off from the world frightens (Apple understood this), especially if they have children / animals to watch. Second, the form-factor helmets (even if it tends to be reduced) is a barrier to use. As such, phrases such as: “Do you honestly see me wearing this? are commonplace. “The day when all you need is a simple pair of glasses to enjoy it, I’ll be there. Well, to the latter we would be tempted to reply that the revolution is already within sight!
Rokid Max, remember this name well, because it may strongly mark the spirits. And for good reason, with this device, it is possible to obtain a 215-inch screen up to a distance of 6 meters and to view your films (or games) in 2D as well as in 3D.

As for the space computer ofApple, the company wants to replace your personal computer and she has every chance of winning her bet if the display holds up. The Rokid Max are sold in bundle with the Rokid Station at $529 (pre-order), while the glasses alone are $439. It may seem expensive, but infinitely less than the solution ofApplewhich, let’s remember, is around 4,000 euros, but incorporates a real Mac inside !
However, we have a reservation regarding the display quality of the Rokid Max. Having been able to try us outHolo Lens 2, the restricted field of vision and the chromatic aberrations (rainbow effect) of the latter had left us unsatisfied. The field of vision was also so small that a section of the image was necessarily cut. Let’s hope it’s different for the RokidMax.
