CES 2018: Amazon Alexa coming to $1,000 smart glasses

Alexa is coming to smart glasses such as these. "Alexa, what is it I'm looking at?" You're used to summoning help from Amazon Alexa, the voice inside Amazon's Echo smart speaker in your kitchen or by your bed. If Amazon has its way, the artificial intelligent-infused Alexa digital assistant will be pretty much at your beck and call everywhere, and that means the bathroom, and even in a product such as the see-through augmented reality glasses that a company called Vuzix will be showcasing this week during the mammoth CES tech show in Las Vegas.

This year Amazon, and its partners, are taking Alexa even further, which seems critical since rival Google has similar ambitions for its own Google Assistant, the voice inside Android phones and Google Home speakers.
