Instagram and Facebook-owner Meta has also experimented with smart glasses in recent years.<\/p>\n
At its Meta Connect conference last month, the company unveiled a range of smart glasses powered by its Meta AI technology, including a pair of Ray-Bans with a built-in display.<\/p>\n
Unlike Amazon, Meta’s smart glasses target the mainstream consumer products market.<\/p>\n
Meta presented the hardware as a technology that allows users to remain more engaged in the real world compared to smartphones.<\/p>\n
For Amazon, the Amelia smart glasses could augment efficiency in the “last mile” of its delivery network.<\/p>\n
Ms Tomay said the smart glasses can detect when they are in a moving vehicle, which prompts them to automatically shut off.<\/p>\n
“From a safety perspective, we thought that was important. No distractions,” Ms Tomay told a group of reporters at an event in California.<\/p>\n
Ms Tomay estimated that the glasses could create up to 30 minutes in efficiencies per 8- to 10-hour shift by minimising repetitive tasks and helping drivers to quickly locate packages in their vehicles.<\/p>\n
The smart glasses also include a hardware switch on the controller that lets the driver turn off the glasses and all of its sensors, including the camera and microphone.<\/p>\n
Drivers “can choose to keep it off,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Instagram and Facebook-owner Meta has also experimented with smart glasses in recent years.
