Echo Look: Hands-Free Camera and Style Assistant.
Introducing a new product in the line of Echo devices from Amazon. This is a camera that can take full length photos and videos, share them with social media, and get advice on what fashion items make you look your best. The camera has all of the features of a normal Echo product, so you can still ask Alexa anything. Not only can Alexa give you the news, play music, check your calendar, and run third party skills, but she can also control the camera through voice activation. Considering that the Amazon Echo is priced at $179.99, and the Echo Look is priced at $199.99, you might want to consider paying the extra $20 to get a voice activated camera as part of your Echo platform. Currently, the Echo Look can be obtained by invitation only.
