Please stop…
If you ever wanted Amazon Alexa inside you eyeglasses, and you didn’t, Amazon has you covered. The Echo Frames stick Alexa into your frames so you can look and sound like an idiot in public.
The Echo Frames weigh only 31 grams and can be bought with prescription frames since there are so cameras involved. So while Amazon can’t see strangers and your naughty time, they will be able to hear people and sell that data.
Smart specs! 👓 Echo Frames let you use @alexa99 on the go and keep your hands, ears, and eyes free. https://t.co/ugT22XhFIn pic.twitter.com/aku0fCuwbV

The frames feature directional speakers so others won’t hear responses, but that sort of makes it weirder. People will just be walking around asking questions and giving commands at random.
The Echo Frames actually do less than what the Alexa app on your phones does. If you can’t spend the 3 seconds to pull out your phone to use Alexa you have a serious problem.
Those Snapchat glasses made more sense than these things.
