Rokid AI Glasses + OpenClaw — glasses-direct, voice-first wearable AI
The Rokid AI Glasses connect directly to OpenClaw Gateway over WiFi — no phone needed. Talk to Claude, capture your world through the 12MP camera, and get AI responses on your monochrome green HUD.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 🎤 Voice Input | 4-mic array captures speech, transcribed and sent to OpenClaw |
| 📸 Camera Capture | 12MP camera frames sent to Claude's vision API |
| 🖥️ HUD Display | AI responses on 480×640 monochrome green micro-LED |
| 🔊 TTS Responses | Claude speaks back via built-in speakers |
| 🔗 Session Management | Persistent conversation sessions via OpenClaw Gateway |
| 📡 Wake Word | Always-on listening with configurable wake word |
| 🗺️ Context Awareness | Location, time, and sensor data piped into prompts |
The Rokid AI Glasses run Android internally and can run sideloaded Jetpack Compose APKs. They connect directly to OpenClaw Gateway over WiFi — no phone middleman required.

No phone bridge needed — the glasses app handles everything:
glasses-app/— Standalone Android app (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose) running on the glassesphone-app/— Reserved for future Rokid Max/AR line (requires phone bridge)shared/— Protocol definitions shared between components
This project is directly inspired by Clawsses by @dweddepohl — a Claude-powered smart glasses app. Clawsses proved the concept beautifully; Rokid OpenClaw adapts it for the Rokid AI Glasses with a direct WiFi connection to OpenClaw's persistent session architecture.
Go give Clawsses a ⭐!

🚧 This project is in early scaffolding phase. Check back soon!
- Clone this repo
- Open
glasses-app/in Android Studio - Build and sideload the APK to your Rokid AI Glasses
- Connect the glasses to your WiFi network
- Configure your OpenClaw Gateway URL in the app settings
- Say the wake word and start chatting!
The glasses app includes a built-in dynamic code loader that checks for updates on every launch:
- On launch, the
LoaderActivitychecks the GitHub releases API for the latest version - If an update is available, the HUD prompts: "Update available v1.2 — Tap to update / Skip"
- On update, it downloads the new code bundle (DEX) from the release assets
- Loads dynamically via
DexClassLoader— no reinstall needed - Fallback: if offline or check fails, launches the last downloaded (or built-in) version
This means the app can self-update without needing to sideload a new APK. Just publish a new GitHub release with a .dex or .jar asset.
The loader UI matches the green-on-black monochrome aesthetic of the 480×640 micro-LED display.
