UNI ING。 AI技术不断创新突破，正开启一场感官体验的全新革命。在智能眼镜赛道，今年以来，搭载场景识别能力的AI助盲眼镜新品迭出，为便利视障群体出行带来新可能。政策利好的持续释放，也与产业创新形成共振。但AI助盲眼镜产业要实现规模化并不容易，仍需破解产品实时响应时延、复杂网络环境适配、硬件佩戴体验等多重难题。 AI助盲眼镜新品迭出 如今，国内智能眼镜赛道“百镜大战”正酣，一些细分领域也是“硝烟遍起”。尤其是近段时间，针对视障人群的AI助盲眼镜新品迭出，各家厂商围绕系统架构、交互体验、识别性能持续优化，场景应用不断提速。 6月26日，乐奇（Rokid）在2026生态及开发者大会上推出YodaOS原生AI眼镜操作系统，发布面向视障、听障人群的全链路无障碍方案。设备内置视觉辅助模式，集成环境感知、物品识别、文字阅读、智能问答等功能，能够帮助视障用户读取书籍、报刊与药品说明。 7月下旬，天视智能完成AI助视眼镜版本更新，新产品搭载自研端侧离线多模态大模型，搭建区分指令操作与对话交互的双模式语音体系，打通豆包语音通道，用户依靠镜身按键和语音即可独立操作，无需搭配手机。不同于传统云端设备，新产品在无网络的地下通道、偏僻路段也可稳定实现避障与场景识别。瞳行科技也在持续升级“瞳者”AI助盲眼镜。继去年底瞳行科技推出基于通义千问Qwen-VL大模型的初代产品后，二代机型性能大幅提升，障碍物识别种类显著增加，响应时延由300毫秒缩短至60至70毫秒。设备可识别行人、车辆、施工区域、红绿灯、斑马线，同时可朗读路牌、门牌号、公交标识等文本信息。视障使用者的实际需求，是推动各种AI助盲眼镜产品架构不断优化的动力。“针对电梯、地下通道信号薄弱造成识别卡顿的难题，我们的产品由单一联网模式升级为端云协同架构。

B | 团队遵循用户‘听得更准而非听得更多’的诉求搭建信息分层机制，出行模式优先推送导航与障碍物关键信息；同时摒弃‘偏左、偏右’等模糊提示，采用时钟方位播报方式，以12点钟方向为基准标注障碍物位置。”天视智能合伙人童银丰在接受《经济参考报》记者采访时说道。乐奇副总裁陈希表示，“早期导盲设备仅能探测障碍物并发出警示，无法分辨物体类型；借助大模型之后，新型设备可精准识别各类物体，支持书籍检索等精细化交互。7月底乐奇AI眼镜（无障碍版）再次完成迭代，重点优化AI响应延迟。

C | ” 政策拉动产业链构建 从政策层面来看，今年以来，政策利好持续释放，也为AI助盲眼镜市场的进一步发展打开空间。

D | 今年2月，民政部发布了《中国康复辅助器具目录（2026年版）》，里面增设了视力障碍智能辅助设备相关类目，配套目录动态调整机制，为AI助盲眼镜等智能可穿戴设备开辟常态化准入通道；7月，民政部等14部门联合印发《康复辅助器具产业扩能提质三年行动方案（2026—2028年）》，明确围绕感官功能补偿等领域，支持智能可穿戴设备等前沿技术、关键共性技术和新产品研发，支持将自主研制产品纳入《中国康复辅助器具目录》、中国消费名品等。

E | 依托政策导向，浙江、四川、上海等地结合本地情况，借助省级集采、辅具消费券、线上适配平台等方式推广AI助盲眼镜，打通智能辅具补贴适配通道。

F | 政策利好释放之下，如今，通用智能眼镜厂商和助盲助视垂直创新企业均已入局。

G | 记者了解到，截至目前，乐奇AI眼镜已进入浙、川、滇、沪等地的残联补贴目录，天视导盲AI眼镜被纳入浙江辅具采购目录，瞳行科技AI助盲眼镜也在8月初成功入围上海辅具适配项目。 “产品被纳入辅具目录，一方面有助于市场培育，另一方面也有利于提升社会各界对科技助残产品的认可度。”陈希说。

H | 产品持续迭代的背后，离不开产业链上下游的协同发力。

I | 近年来，智能眼镜成为资本竞相追捧、企业激烈争抢的热门赛道，包括芯片、结构件、天线、整机方案等各个环节的厂商都在持续推进量产与技术迭代。据悉，上市公司星宸科技应用于AI眼镜的第二代12nm移动影像设备芯片已于今年陆续投片。蓝思科技搭建起具身智能垂直整合能力，覆盖轻量化新材料研发、自动化模组与整机组装，旗下AR/AI眼镜业务今年实现规模化出货。硕贝德持续深化与海内外AR、AI眼镜厂商合作，在稳定供应天线产品的基础上推进新材料、新工艺精密结构件、外观件新项目，目前已向国内头部智能眼镜客户交付天线及钛合金镜腿6万余套。除此之外，歌尔股份、领益智造、创维数字、明月镜片、佳禾智能等多家上市公司也在持续加码布局，几乎覆盖了从光学镜片、声学组件、精密制造到整机代工的整个智能眼镜产业链。 产业仍处起步导入期 目前AI助盲眼镜产业的发展才刚刚起步。在业内人士看来，受算力架构、网络条件与硬件体验多重因素制约，AI助盲眼镜行业的发展之路仍面临多重难题。 “总体来看，国内AI助盲眼镜行业仍处于起步导入期，呈现‘大市场、小赛道’的结构性特征。通用AI眼镜市场快速增长，但助盲垂直赛道因用户支付能力弱、市场教育成本高，头部企业布局意愿不强，垂直玩家整体呈现‘小而散’的状态。”童银丰表示。童银丰告诉记者，“智能助盲眼镜不同于盲杖、放大镜等传统辅具，从验配、适配到使用培训，每个环节都需要专业服务支撑，且用户触达与认知教育成本较高也是现实挑战。视障群体信息获取渠道相对有限，对新兴智能辅具的认知和接受需要一个过程。

J | 产品进入地方采购目录只是第一步，如何让目标用户知晓、体验并真正用起来，是我们下一步要重点解决的问题。此外，行业标准尚不完善，产品质量与宣传口径参差不齐，不利于用户建立信任。” 陈希也指出，视障群体核心诉求是安全外出，陌生环境下的实时避障需求突出，但当前AI反馈仍存在时延，难以达到真人即时提醒的效果。同时现阶段大模型运算仍部分依赖云端，网络波动会进一步加剧识别延迟，想要彻底突破这类局限，不仅依赖技术迭代，更离不开产业链协同创新。
