Amazon is now throwing Alexa at the wall to see what sticks. I don’t see how this made past the initial pitch.

Yeah i agree after trying Bose's smart glasses I felt like why wouldn't i use this/they are better then just regular eye or sunglasses. Regular glasses you can not listen to music through, take phone calls, hear pertinent information about your surroundings, etc.
I feel smart glasses will be bigger then Apple Watch/smart watches and almost as big as smart phones. Most people wear eye or sunglasses already.

You read my post wrong. I don’t like them. I wouldn’t have funded them at all. In fact I wouldn’t even have entertained a prolonged discussion on them, they just don’t make sense the way they are released.

Cool but they are going to be as big or bigger then the Apple Watch.
Go try a pair on ..why wouldn't you wear these glasses vs. just regular seeing or sunglasses?

Bose has had glasses like these in Best Buy for maybe six months. Granted, not integrated with Alexa. Coincidence? It might cost them relatively little to produce and take a shot here.

Didn't they already throw stuff at the wall with the Echo Clock?
