Hong Kong Stock Concept Tracking | The Rise of Large AI Models, AI Audio Glasses New Products Attract Attention (With Concept Stocks)

On November 16th, Looktech held a product launch event, officially releasing its AI smart glasses, showcasing new possibilities of combining smart glasses with AI through innovative designs such as knob interaction and smart mini-programs.

Baidu: The first native AI glasses with a built-in Chinese large model were officially unveiled, with AI functionality being the main selling point of the glasses. The glasses weigh 45g, have a battery life of 56 hours, can play music for over 5 hours continuously, and are equipped with physical buttons that support customization. Additionally, to ensure users' voice interaction experience, they are equipped with four-array microphones and custom open-type sound leakage speaker units. The glasses feature a 16-megapixel camera, serving as an important bridge connecting user needs and the AI functions of the glasses, allowing users to take photos and record videos through voice interaction anytime and anywhere.

Rokid Glasses: Partnering with Alibaba (Tongyi Qianwen) and Baolong Glasses to create stylish AI audio glasses.

Huajin Securities Research believes that the growing demand for smart wearable devices and the rise of generative artificial intelligence large models are pushing AI audio glasses into a broader market. In the short term, with a relatively vague user profile for AR glasses, smart audio glasses are entering the market by replacing headphone functions, using glasses (for vision correction/decorative purposes) as a carrier, and enhancing experiences and selling points with AI, which is expected to open up a new audio track.
