Amazon has unveiled a cutting-edge pair of smart glasses that utilize artificial intelligence to enhance safety and efficiency in delivery tasks. Designed specifically for drivers, this device allows them to scan packages, follow step-by-step routes, and confirm deliveries without needing a smartphone.
These smart glasses integrate AI-based touch recognition and computer vision with built-in cameras, creating a projection display that shows everything from route guidance to hazard alerts and delivery tasks. When a driver parks safely, the glasses automatically activate, displaying essential information, including package locations in the truck and precise delivery addresses.
The display also provides turn-by-turn navigation to the recipient's address, using Amazon's geospatial technologies, which eliminates the need for drivers to frequently check their smartphones. In challenging environments, such as apartment complexes, the glasses help ensure safe and accurate delivery.
The Amazon glasses come with a small controller that attaches to the delivery vest. It includes controls, a replaceable battery for all-day use, and a dedicated emergency call button for quick contact with emergency services if needed. The glasses are compatible with corrective lenses and photochromic lenses that adjust to lighting conditions.
