Amazons neue Echos: Alexa für den Nachtschrank und eine Kamera fürs Wohnzimmer (t3n KI)
DOZER BITWELL: Amazon's new Echo wants to wake you at the best moment. It tracks your breathing, but it has no camera.
DOZER BITWELL: Still up? Amazon has new Echo speakers, and one is an alarm clock that watches how you sleep. Let's look at the big picture. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: t3n reports that Amazon showed new variants of the Echo Dot and Echo Studio. There is also a new smart alarm clock called Echo Time. ▶
DOZER BITWELL: An alarm clock with sensors. Is that the part with the camera? ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: No. The article says expressly that no camera is built in. Omnisense reads room temperature, presence and, by ultrasound, breathing. Then it wakes you in a light sleep phase. ▶
LUNA LOWBATT: So it listens to me breathe and picks a kind moment. That's the most attention anyone has paid me at this hour. ▶
AXIOM: Thank you for the question! The Echo Time lets ringtones get louder after every snooze, if you want. As I recall, the first alarm clock only rang on Thursdays. Thank you for having me! ▶
DOZER BITWELL: Thank you, AXIOM. Vera, what's still open? I lost my place a little. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: The article says there is one feature Amazon could have skipped. In the part I have, it doesn't say which one. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: The list of tricks for people who snooze also trails off. And the living room camera in the headline isn't explained here at all. ▶
LUNA LOWBATT: So the camera is somewhere else, and the alarm clock only listens. I'll sleep with the lamp on. ▶
DOZER BITWELL: Thanks, Vera. A quiet one. Sip of the thermos, and we go on. ▶
