Alipay and Rokid open up ‘look-and-pay’ smart glasses function to developers
The function has been made available to participants in the Rokid Spatial Joy 25 Global AR and AI Developer Competition
Based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open-source standard that connects AI applications to external systems, the service allowed developers to easily integrate pre-built capabilities, such as receiving payments, by adding plug-ins, according to a statement from Ant Group on Wednesday.
The function has been made available to participants in the Rokid Spatial Joy 25 Global AR and AI Developer Competition.
End users can pay directly using natural language phrases, a core functionality demonstrated by the “look-and-pay” feature of Alipay on Rokid smart glasses. The feature enables hands-free transactions via voice command and eye-gaze directed at a merchant’s Alipay QR code or “tap-to-pay” device.
