"Financial Times" reported that, according to informed sources, Amazon is developing its first wearable device - equipped with virtual voice assistant Alexa's smart glasses.
It is understood that this device can be wirelessly connected to the smart phone, the design looks like ordinary glasses, so that people wear comfortable and inconspicuous. The glasses have a built-in bone conduction audio system that allows the wearer to hear Alexa's voice without wearing headphones.
Smart glasses are not Amazon's only upcoming Alexa product. Amazon also said it will expand its "smart home" hardware lineup, develop new home security cameras, and integrate its product ecosystem. For example, Amazon's previously launched Echo Show, a second-generation smart speaker with a display, allows users to immediately make video calls. "Financial Times" pointed out that users may be able to view the camera's push message on the "display", you can also see whether the goods can be delivered to the door.
According to sources familiar with the Amazon plan, Amazon may launch one or two of these products by 2017 and update existing Echo products.
For the above news, Amazon declined to comment.
Actually, Amazon has worked on smart glasses for a long time. After analyzing the Linkedin data, we learned that in 2014, Amazon hired Google Glass to invent Babak Parviz, who has been closely involved in the Alexa glasses project. Several other Google Glass researchers, engineers, and designers also moved to the Amazon lab.
After learning the failure experience of Google Glass, Amazon's glasses may cancel the camera and screen to protect the privacy of users. In addition, it can also improve the poor battery life that has plagued Google Glass.
Similar to Google Glass, it can display information related to their queries in the user's field of view for further action. For example, the user may ask Alexa: "show vacuum cleaners under $ 500", this glasses can cast a lot of options for the user to view and select.
Most importantly, this spectacles provides an opportunity for Amazon to enter the AR market. At the moment, Magic Leap, Apple, and Facebook are all developing heads-up to take the initiative in emerging markets.
