Amazon may be muscling into the field of augmented reality glasses. According
to a report by The Information, sources claimed that the company is working
on AR glasses for consumers, allegedly with plans to release the product in
late 2026 or early 2027.

Insiders told the publication that the project, internally dubbed Jayhawk,
would equip AR glasses with microphones, speakers, a camera and a full-color
display in one eye. Amazon is reportedly using Chinese company Meta-Bounds
for the AR tech.

Amazon is also working on a separate model of AR glasses specifically for its
delivery drivers under the codename Amelia. This productivity-focused option,
which would reportedly shave seconds off drivers' times, could be ready by
the second quarter of 2026, according to The Information's sources.

If Amazon does release these AR sets, it will primarily be in competition
with Meta, which already sells simpler smart glasses with Ray-Ban. The social
media company is expected to launch a new product currently dubbed Hypernova
at its Connect conference next week, a set that pushes more into a true
augmented reality experience with a similar one-eye AR concept.
