Here are Amazon’s smart delivery glasses that guide drivers and scan packages

They can help drivers find the right packages inside their delivery trucks, give them turn-by-turn 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 risks, or there is a need to navigate complex environments such as apartment buildings, the glasses will guide you [drivers] Amazon claims to get it safely to its destination, and shows parody videos of what drivers have to see while they work.

As you can see in the image below, the glasses are not independent – they are paired with a vest that contains a replaceable 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’ll become stronger in sunlight, clearer without it — and support prescription lenses.

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 frames don’t look particularly thick in these images released by Amazon, but — like the Meta Display and other glasses with built-in displays — they don’t quite look at the level of consumer glasses yet.

Information It was reported in September that Amazon’s consumer display glasses, codenamed “Jayhawk,” may launch to consumers in 2026 or 2027. Reuters, who originally posted about the glasses for delivery drivers, wrote that those glasses were codenamed “Amelia,” and indeed some of today’s Amazon photos have the word “Amelia” in their file name.

Unsurprisingly, Amazon’s blog post does not discuss any potential ethical concerns workers or customers might have as these glasses monitor the “last mile” of the delivery process.
