Amazon delivers millions of packages a day, so it’s always thinking of new ways to speed up the process, because that means deliver more in less time and, therefore, reduce costs and increase customer satisfaction.
According to has revealed Reuters From anonymous sources, Amazon is working on some augmented reality glasses for your delivery driverswhich they would use “in the last 100 yards”, that is, the last 95 meters. Basically, from the moment they get out of the van with the package, until they deliver it.
These glasses would be a variant of their Echo Frames, but with a screen that allows augmented reality.

Las Echo Frames They are sunglasses with headphones and a microphone, which are sold in the United States to listen to music when you go down the street, without the need for headphones, or to use Alexa without hands.
According to ReutersAmazon has added an augmented reality screen, so that delivery drivers see direction arrows that tell them where they have to go to reach their destination.
Amazon has detected that many delivery men They waste a lot of time finding certain houses or businesses, because they do not have conventional access. Using maps and AI, the glasses will guide “lost” delivery drivers.
Another function they are testing is a camera built into the glasses to photograph the deliveryand prove that they have delivered said package to the correct place.
But it is not something we will see tomorrow, because it still has some time to develop. Amazon has problems integrating into glasses a battery that lasts 8 hours of the work day.
According to the source, it also plans to develop a commercial variant, which would go on sale in 2026.
Little by little, augmented reality wants to be integrated into different areas of our lives. Also, when an Amazon delivery person delivers a package to us.
