The Amazon Echo may be one of the most popular connected home products, but the company is making a big effort to expand its Echo gadgets beyond our households.
During an event on Wednesday, Amazon unleashed a slew of new Alexa and Echo products, among the most unexpected being a smart ring that can be used to access Alexa.
The smart ring, known as the Echo Loop, is part of Amazon's Day 1 program, meaning it will be available in limited quantities and on an invitation-only basis. During the invitation period, the Echo Loop will be priced at $130.
It's one of two Day 1 products Amazon announced during its big event, the other being a pair of Alexa-enabled smart glasses called Echo Frames.
