The proposed development site is a short distance from the city's downtown. This proposal has emerged about five years after Amazon bought an industrial site at the corner of South Seventh Street and East Alma Avenue, where the e-commerce giant intends to develop the distribution hub.

The glasses use AI-powered sensing, computer vision, and a camera to create a "heads-up display" that can showcase navigation details, hazards, and delivery tasks, as stated in the release. As seen in the screenshot above, the in-lens display appears to function similarly to the in-lens displays found on the Even Reality smart glasses. For example, the glasses automatically populate delivery information, such as address and number of packages, within the driver's field of view as soon as they park safely outside the delivery.
