In its latest effort to be involved in every aspect of our lives, Amazon is reportedly working on a new voice-activated wearable device that is capable of recognizing human emotions. According to Bloomberg, the wearable will be worn on the wrist, like a watch, and is described as a health and wellness product in internal documents. Lab126, the team behind the Echo and Fire Phone, is working on the device alongside the Alexa voice team.
As Bloomberg’s report explains, Amazon’s wearable works in conjunction with a smartphone app. Codenamed Dylan, it uses microphones and software in order to “discern the wearer’s emotional state from the sound of his or her voice.” Eventually, the device may even advise users on “how to interact more effectively with others.”
