Amazon Alexa Could Make These Smart Glasses Way Better Than Google Glass

Amazon's Alexa software has already made its way into just about every Internet-connected device you can imagine, like smartwatches, lamps, and refrigerators, to name just a few. Next, Amazon's voice-enabled digital assistant could live in your glasses. At CES 2018, wearable display company Vuzix unveiled its latest pair of augmented reality glasses, the Vuzix Blade, which can communicate with Amazon's Alexa assistant. The glasses are set to launch in the second quarter of 2018 for $1,000. Vuzix's Blade AR glasses feel like an improved version of Google Glass with better picture quality. The Android-based headset work fine on its own, as it's a fully functional computer, but it must be tethered via Bluetooth to your smartphone or connected to a Wi-Fi network to access certain features, like email and text notifications.
