Amazon has it Just revealed These are ‘Amelia’ glasses for the world – with a built-in display and always-on camera to help drivers on the go.
They can help drivers find the right packages inside their delivery trucks, give them directions to the right address, and take a hands-free photo of a successful delivery instead of needing them to take out their phone. (Have you ever had an Amazon driver tell you, “Please don’t pick up your package yet, I have to take a picture first?”)
“If there are hazards, or a need to navigate complex environments such as residential buildings, the glasses will safely guide (drivers) to their destination,” Amazon claims, showing mockumentary videos of what drivers must see as they work.
As you can see in the image below, the glasses are not self-contained – they are paired with a vest that contains a swappable battery, and a button that the driver can press to take a photo of each successful delivery.
There appears to be a dial surrounding this button as well, and Amazon wrote that the controller also has a dedicated emergency button for calling for help. Amazon didn’t mention the sensors inside the glasses, but the images suggest they may have two cameras: one positioned above the nose, and the other above the temple.
Amazon also says the glasses have transition lenses — they will become stronger in sunlight, and clearer without it — and support prescription lenses as well.
While the company isn’t saying exactly when or where the glasses might be released, the company says hundreds of drivers have already tested early versions of the technology, and that it wants to put more AI features inside.
“We expect future versions of the glasses to provide real-time anomaly detection, as the glasses could help alert drivers if they accidentally drop a package on a customer’s doorstep that doesn’t match the house or apartment number on the package, detect hazards like low light and lens adjustment, notify of a pet in the yard, and more,” Amazon wrote.
The bezels don’t look particularly thick in these images released by Amazon, but — like Meta show And other glasses with built-in screens – they don’t quite look up to consumer glasses yet.
Information Reported in September Amazon’s consumer display glasses, codenamed “Jayhawk,” may launch to consumers in 2026 or 2027. Reuters, Which was originally mentioned The delivery drivers’ glasses were codenamed “Amelia,” and indeed some Amazon photos today have the word “Amelia” in their file name.
Not surprisingly, Amazon’s blog post doesn’t discuss anything possible Ethical concerns that workers Or customers may have because these glasses monitor the “last mile” of the delivery process.
