If you’ve ever wished your laptop screen was way bigger—or wanted a private, immersive display without committing to a full VR headset, these Rokid AR Spatial Glasses (Max 2 with Station 2) are built for exactly that.
Right now they’re $499, down from $698, which is a 29% savings on a wearable AR display that can mirror or extend your screen, handle multi-tasking, and plug into everything from a work laptop to a gaming console.
This bundle combines the Rokid Max 2 AR glasses in silver with the Station 2 hub, giving you a plug-and-play way to turn compatible devices into a floating, cinema-sized display.
The idea is simple: instead of being limited to a 14–16″ laptop screen or a single external monitor, you put on the glasses and get a large, private workspace or “big screen” view—without carrying a bulky portable display.
These glasses really make sense in a few scenarios:
The Station 2 is an important part of the package: it makes it much easier to hook up consoles, laptops, or other devices and treat the glasses as your primary display.
At $499, you’re still in premium gadget territory, but the discount takes a meaningful chunk out of the usual price. For people who live on their laptops, travel a lot, or want a more immersive way to use a console or PC without buying a huge TV, it’s a compelling alternative.
If you’re curious about AR glasses but want something practical rather than purely experimental, this Rokid Max 2 + Station 2 combo is designed to slot right into your daily workflow and entertainment habits. At $499, down from $698, you’re getting a portable, 360″-equivalent Micro-OLED display with 120Hz refresh, 600-nit brightness, and multi-device support—all in a wearable package that travels a lot more easily than a second monitor.
San Francisco startup Dimensional advertised for people to walk robot dogs through city streets. The New York Times reported that the job could include carrying a roughly 33-pound robot back to the office if it overheated. A lift home is an awkward requirement for a labor-saving machine.
Keeping the hardware running is only one challenge. Anthropic's robotics tests found that language models mostly failed when controlling joints directly, but did better when directing trained controllers. Giving an AI agent a body doesn't teach it to handle ordinary household objects.
Soon, a mattress protector may be more than a bed cover. Australian medtech company Sleeptite and researchers at RMIT University have received a US patent for FlexiSense, a smart bedding technology that tracks body position and posture to help caregivers identify when older residents may be at risk of falling.
The technology is being developed for Sleeptite’s in-bed monitoring system, REMi, and was recently on display at The MedTech Conference in Boston. A peer-reviewed study in Flexible and Printed Electronics says the sensors can also be made at scale without sacrificing performance or durability.
AI companies spend enormous amounts of time convincing us their technology is safe and secure. But what happens when those same companies become targets of increasingly sophisticated AI-powered attacks? Anthropic, the company behind Claude, is now facing that question. According to a Washington Post report, cybersecurity startup Cathedral discovered vulnerabilities that let its researchers access sensitive information in Anthropic's internal systems.
The researchers used AI agents to identify potential entry points in less than 12 hours. Interestingly, they didn't need to crack Claude itself. Instead, they exploited weaknesses in third-party business applications that Anthropic uses for everyday operations. Anthropic's security testing program disclosed the findings, which allows outside researchers to identify and report vulnerabilities.
