Amazon is developing augmented-reality glasses codenamed Jayhawk that could include a full-color display in one eye plus built-in microphones, speakers, and a camera. Meta is preparing a next-generation smart glasses release called Hypernova and is also working on an AR model named Orion, with rumored small-display capabilities for mini apps and alerts. Amazon released third-gen Echo Frame smart glasses in 2023, but those devices lag behind competing Ray-Ban features. Amazon may launch consumer AR glasses in late 2026 or early 2027 and plans an earlier, bulkier delivery-driver model called Amelia with turn-by-turn navigation and instructional displays.
"Amazon, like Meta, Google, Samsung, and Snap, is working on a new pair of augmented-reality (AR) glasses, according to a report from The Information. The AR glasses, codenamed Jayhawk, could reportedly come with a full-color display in one eye, along with built-in microphones, speakers, and a camera. The report comes just before Meta is expected to reveal its "Hypernova" smart glasses at its Connect event."
"Amazon launched its third-gen Echo Frame smart glasses in 2023, but their features fall flat when compared to Meta's Ray-Bans. Though Amazon may launch its first AR glasses in late 2026 or early 2027, The Information reports that Amazon could release a pair made for delivery drivers even earlier. Amazon initially plans on making 100,000 units of the glasses for delivery drivers, called "Amelia" internally, The Information reports."
