Amazon develops smart glasses to enhance delivery efficiency with real-time navigation

Amazon is developing smart glasses, codenamed "Amelia," to assist delivery drivers with real-time directions and obstacle warnings. This technology aims to improve navigation and efficiency, allowing drivers to deliver packages faster and carry more items. The glasses will display step-by-step directions on a small screen, helping drivers navigate complex areas like apartment buildings. They will also alert drivers to potential obstacles, enhancing safety and efficiency during deliveries. While the glasses are still in development, challenges include creating a lightweight, long-lasting battery and mapping delivery areas. Amazon's previous smart glasses, the Echo Frames, have not gained significant popularity, and the success of this new project remains uncertain.
