Rokid Launches AR Spatial Glasses with 300-Inch Virtual Display

Rokid has officially launched its AR Spatial system, which bundles the lightweight Rokid Max 2 AR glasses with the new Station 2 wearable computing unit, offering a portable multi-display experience that aims to replace laptops, projectors, or even gaming monitors. When paired with the Station 2, users can access a 300-inch equivalent virtual display that supports up to three windows simultaneously. Rokid’s proprietary YodaOS Master system enables a true multi-screen environment for multitasking, presentations, or entertainment. Station 2 acts as both a spatial controller and a computing hub, running Android-based apps and supporting Bluetooth peripherals like keyboards and mice. With 3DOF spatial tracking and a 9-axis IMU, users can interact with apps using head and hand movement. The system connects with devices such as laptops, smartphones, the Nintendo Switch, and Steam Deck for a hybrid productivity and entertainment setup.  [News] Rokid Launches AR Spatial Glasses with 300-Inch Virtual Display – LEDinside

AR + AI: Evolution from Tool to “Second Brain”

Dr. Qiu Xiaoling, CFO of JBD, has recently delivered a penetrating analysis of the MicroLED microdisplay and AR glasses ecosystem, illuminating how these once-independent frontiers are coalescing to redefine wearable AI. As AI evolves from merely being “smarter” toward truly “more attuned to you,” users increasingly expect an always-on digital assistant. AR glasses have emerged as the quintessential conduit for frictionless, context-aware interaction, and the ultra-compact MicroLED microdisplay has become the linchpin technology that turns the vision of lightweight, all-day wearable intelligence into daily reality. The fusion of AI and AR offers consumers a far more natural, convenient means of interaction and is catalyzing a revolution in smart wearable electronics. Meta’s CTO Andrew Bosworth has remarked, “The always‑on AI experience will allow smart glasses to replace the smartphone.”  [News] AR + AI: Evolution from Tool to “Second Brain” – LEDinside

The Genesis of the U.S. Space Force – On December 20, 2019, President Donald Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2020, officially creating the United States Space Force, a new and independent branch of the U.S. military. The establishment of the Space Force marked a historic shift in how the U.S. views and manages its military operations in space, reflecting the growing importance of space as both a domain of strategic competition and national security. The Space Force is tasked with ensuring the U.S. maintains its superiority in space, focusing on both the defense of space assets and the development of offensive capabilities. Its mission includes:

  1. Space Operations: Overseeing space-based systems, such as satellites, that provide essential services to the U.S. military, including communication, reconnaissance, and missile defense.
  2. Space Security: Protecting U.S. space infrastructure from threats, including anti-satellite weapons, cyberattacks, and other potential forms of disruption by adversarial nations.
  3. Space Research and Development: Developing and deploying cutting-edge space technologies, including space-based defense systems, that ensure the U.S. maintains an edge in space exploration and military operations.
  4. Supporting National Defense: Integrating space capabilities into broader national defense strategies, ensuring that U.S. forces can operate effectively in space as part of a multi-domain approach to warfare.

The Space Force is designed to streamline and strengthen the U.S. military’s space operations, which were previously under the purview of the U.S. Air Force. By separating space operations into a distinct branch, the government hoped to increase focus on space as a critical area of national defense and enhance the U.S. military’s ability to respond to emerging threats.
