AI Smart Glasses Payments: Rokid Teams With Ant International
Rokid, a global pioneer in human-computer interaction and augmented reality, has announced a strategic collaboration with Ant International, a leading global digital payment, digitisation, and financial technology provider. The partnership will enable payment functionality on Rokid Glasses and Rokid Ai Glasses Style. Rokid unveiled these AI smart glasses globally at CES 2026 and positioned them as the world’s first open ecosystem AI smart glasses. Together, the companies will expand real-world use cases for AI-powered wearable technology.
The collaboration integrates Alipay+ GlassPay, an embedded payment solution designed by Ant International specifically for smart glasses. Users can complete payments through Rokid AI&AR products with supported digital wallets that connect via Alipay+. This approach supports hands-free payments and AI-powered AR transactions in everyday environments.
By adding Alipay+ GlassPay to Rokid Glasses and Rokid Ai Glasses Style, users can initiate and confirm payments directly through the glasses interface. The experience combines an AI-powered voice interface, intent-based interaction, camera-based code scanning, and biometric authentication. It also streamlines payment scenarios, including retail purchases, travel-related transactions, and cross-border spending. The feature keeps interaction intuitive and practical, so users can pay without switching to a handheld device.
Alipay+ operates as a global wallet gateway, delivering cross-border payment and digitisation services. It connects over 1.8 billion user accounts across 40+ mobile payment providers to 150+ million merchants in 100+ core markets. Through Alipay+, consumers can make streamlined payments, access a wide range of deals, and use digital services in their preferred payment apps or e-wallets when travelling abroad.
Many businesses already use Alipay+ digital tools to improve operational efficiency and support omnichannel growth. The integration with Rokid Glasses extends these capabilities to smart glasses and opens new opportunities for merchants and consumers.
The new payment functionality supports Rokid’s vision of AI glasses as practical, everyday tools rather than conceptual devices. By combining AR displays, AI interaction, and digital payments, Rokid and Alipay+ reduce friction in daily activities and enable more natural, efficient human-computer interaction.
The collaboration marks a crucial milestone in wearable computing and shows how AI glasses can connect directly with real-world digital and financial services. Rokid will continue to expand practical applications for Rokid AI&AR Glasses through partnerships across payments, services, and global commerce ecosystems.
