Asia FX cautious amid US govt shutdown; yen tumbles after Takaichi’s LDP win
Investing.com -- Amazon is working on augmented-reality glasses for consumers, according to a report from the Information citing two people with knowledge of the plans.
The consumer AR glasses, codenamed Jayhawk internally, will feature microphones, speakers, a camera, and a full-color display in one eye, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.
Amazon aims to launch these consumer glasses in late 2026 or early 2027, though the planned retail price remains unknown.
The e-commerce giant is also developing a separate pair of AR glasses, codenamed Amelia, specifically for its delivery drivers. These glasses will display instructions on the eyeglass screens to help drivers sort and deliver packages more efficiently.
This move puts Amazon in competition with Meta Platforms, which is expected to unveil a new version of its own AR glasses at its Connect conference next week.
