 Amazon is releasing an upgraded Echo Frame to everyone who wants it.

This is not AR glasses, but wearable, voice-controlled mobile computing.

Side note: By most estimates, the visual AR portion of the Google Glass experiment was a failure. However, the voice-controlled computing aspect of it, for things like communication, reference and personal assistant, was much more popular with the users/testers.  I think there is a niche for this.  Why they don’t make it like a pin, ala Star Trek communicator, I do not know.
