This sets a new all-time record for the highest crowdfunding amount on Makuake. We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming support and will continue to collaborate with the global technology brand 'Rokid' to strengthen our long-term business development and after-sales support system for both individual and corporate users in Japan. By the end of the project, the high level of interest and expectation for this product in the Japanese market was evident. This achievement is one of the largest in the smart glasses category on Makuake and marks the largest project for the Rokid brand in Japan to date. During the project, we reached 50 million yen in 2 hours, 100 million yen on the first day, 200 million yen in two weeks, and 550 million yen in about three months. Support was received from all 47 prefectures in Japan. Users supported the 'information at a glance' experience, along with real-time translation, AI search, FPV shooting, meeting minutes, and navigation. In 2026, the smart glasses market is entering a full-scale launch phase. The market is bifurcating into 'ear/hand-based' voice assistant types and 'spatial display' types like Rokid that keep information within the field of view. In Japan, there is high interest in real-time subtitles, AI meeting minutes, AR navigation, and prescription lens support. The Rokid Smart AI Glasses, weighing about 49g, feature ChatGPT/Gemini integration, 89-language real-time translation, and other AI assistant functions. FutureModel views this project as the first step toward full-scale market expansion. We will continue to strengthen sales and support channels, including offline/online, and explore corporate applications in education, tourism, and interpretation. We will also incorporate user feedback to improve product experience and support quality. FutureModel and Rokid aim to make AI and wearable devices more accessible in Japan. We are committed to providing stable, long-term after-sales support, including a one-year manufacturer's warranty, to ensure peace of mind for all users.
