Amazon announces the Echo Look style assistant


Amazon has announced a new member of the Echo device family, the Echo Look. The Echo Look has the same basic functionality as the Echo Dot and original Echo (aka Alexa), but with a new, sleek design and an added built-in depth-sensing camera and flash.

Being marketed as an Amazon Echo and “Style Assistant”, the Echo Look’s camera and LED flash allows you to take full-length photos or videos of yourself via voice command. You can share the photos or add them to a daily lookbook to keep track of outfits you’ve worn recently.

Once you build up your lookbook, Style Check will start showing you recommendations based on your style which you can then purchase via your Look or Amazon’s website.

You can also use your photos to compare two outfits using Amazon’s Style Check. Style Check is a new Amazon service that “combines machine learning algorithms with advice from fashion specialists” to help you pick which outfit to wear. The videos taken with the Echo Look can be viewed via the companion app as well, allowing you to check out all angles of an outfit before heading out the door.

You can also still use the Echo Look like any other Echo device, asking it questions, playing music, getting weather updates, etc.

Amazon is constantly upgrading the functionality of their Echo devices via software updates, this is the first new hardware offering since the release of the Echo Dot.

The Amazon Echo Look is priced at $199.99 and currently is available only by invitation.

Now you can garden like Wolverine


Live out your wildest Wolverine fantasies – in the garden – with Garden Genie gloves. These latex and nylon gloves are waterproof, puncture resistant, and feature ABS plastic claws which make them perfect for dangerous outdoor projects like planting flowers.

The gloves are one size fits most, but only the right-hand glove has the built-in claws. Lefties like me are left out. Boo!

Garden Genie gloves look like they would be handy for other jobs in addition to digging in the dirt. I can see using them when pruning plants with thorns or other prickly plants.

I found a bunch of different branded gloves like these online from a variety of sources, but the best deal I found has two pairs of Garden Genie gloves for $5.50 and that also includes free shipping. Head over to Amazon for more info.

Your dream of a mousepad with programmable lights has come true


The QcK Prism mousepad is no ordinary mouse pad. Made for gamers by SteelSeries, the QcK Prism features wrap around illumination with 12 programmable zones that light up in millions of color combinations. But light effects is not the only trick up this mousepad’s sleeve. Do mousepads even have sleeves? Don’t answer that.

The QcK Prism mousepad also offers two surfaces for your gaming pleasure. There’s a micro-textured cloth on one side of the mousepad that adds friction for more deliberate movements and when you flip the mousepad to the other side, there’s a hard polymer surface for a fast-paced glide.

The QcK Prism is now available at steelseries.com/qckprism for $59.99 and online retailers including Amazon. For more information about SteelSeries’ QcK Prism or SteelSeries complete selection of gaming accessories, visit SteelSeries.com.
