Last year, Amazon announced Echo Frames, which are almost exactly what they sound like -- a prescription-ready eyeglasses frame that looks pretty standard but has built-in microphones for you to summon Alexa. They were announced as a "Day One" product, made in limited quantities and only available via a special invitation. But now, a little over a year later, Echo Frames are available to anyone who wants them. As the first Day 1 item graduating to a full-fledged product, Amazon has made a bunch of improvements to these new Echo Frames. The first model had open-ear speakers where you would hear replies, and the new model can automatically adjust volume based on how loud your surroundings are. Amazon also says battery life is up to 40 percent longer (during continuous playback at 60 percent volume).

Amazon's first wearable device will be a pair of smart glasses with the Alexa voice assistant built in, according to a report in the Financial Times. The device will reportedly look like a regular pair of glasses and use bone-conduction technology so that the user can hear Alexa without the need for earphones or conventional speakers. It won't, however, likely have a screen or camera, although Google Glass founder Babak Parviz has apparently been working on the project following his hiring by Amazon in 2014. The FT report also says that Amazon is working on a home security camera separate from its ever-expanding lineup of Echo devices; the product that ultimately turned out to be the Echo Look was widely assumed to be a more conventional security camera when it first leaked. Amazon's Echo Show already lets you view the feed from other security cameras, a feature naturally pegged for the company's own upcoming model. "One or both" of these products may arrive this year, according to the FT's sources, alongside updated Echo products.

Amazon's Alexa smart assistant has already transitioned from just being on the Echo speakers to being an AI assistant on smartphones. Now, a new report claims that Amazon is planning to put Alexa on a pair of smart glasses. This new Amazon Alexa smart glasses was first reported by the Financial Times citing people familiar with Amazon's plans. According to the source, the Alexa-powered smart glasses will be able to work anytime and anywhere and are designed to look like a regular pair of eyeglasses. The Amazon Alexa smart glasses will be tethered to a smartphone.
