Amazon wants the most basic of tasks to be controlled by voice, from microwaving potatoes to switching up the music in the car.

Amazon.com Inc is developing a voice-activated wearable device that can recognise human emotions. 

The wrist-worn gadget is described as a health and wellness product in internal documents reviewed by Bloomberg. It’s a collaboration between Lab126, the hardware development group behind Amazon’s Fire phone and Echo smart speaker, and the Alexa voice software team.
