I was speaking with someone about Amazon's next evolution of Echo and how camera/visuals are inevitable. It's interesting to see them focus so much on the fashion use case (watch the video), turning it into essentially a "smart" mirror. Next up: a screen so Amazon can create cool experiences like this one. 🤔

@rrhoover Smart move by Amazon. 1. Targeting non-consumption in a unique way (Fashion). 2. Targeting women. 3. Generating a dataset for training their ML models.. for free... and eventually selling more outfits. Very smart. 👌 I'm StitchFix is envious of this.

@rrhoover That was the missing gap to me as well... but I'm guessing they will initially be using the mobile app for that... I wonder how long it will be before its suggesting clothes to buy based on what photos you've taken.

@rrhoover I didn't even realize that people shop for fashion related clothing on Amazon! I'm more likely to buy toilet paper on Amazon than a new dress shirt.

@rrhoover The minute Amazon comes out with a screen like your link, I'm buying it
