Amazon to release Alexa-powered smartglasses, reports say

Unlike Google Glass and Snapchat's Spectacles, the glasses reportedly won't feature a camera, instead focusing on linking to Amazon's voice assistant

Amazon is planning to release a pair of Alexa-enabled smartglasses as the latest addition to its range of voice-controlled devices, according to reports.

Unlike most previous smartglasses, such as the ill-fated Google Glass experiment and Snapchat's Spectacles, the Amazon glasses won't feature a camera in any form, bypassing the privacy concerns that have plagued the form-factor in the past.
