If you want to show off your daily wardrobe, you just have to ask the Look to take a snapshot \u2014 you don\u2019t have to take a selfie in front of a mirror to get a full-length picture. And since it includes a depth-sensing camera, it can blur the background to make shots pop. The real party tricks come when you\u2019re not sure about your outfit, however.<\/p>\n<p>The Look\u2019s Style Check service blends AI algorithms with fashion specialist advice to provide a second opinion. Does that jacket really go with that shirt? The goal is to get you shopping for more clothes on Amazon, of course, but this could save you from having to ask friends for tips. The more feedback you provide, the better Style Check gets at determining what outfits work.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, the Echo Look still behaves like Amazon\u2019s other speakers when you\u2019re not using it, complete with smart home control. It\u2019s really more of a bedroom-oriented Echo than a single-purpose device.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2017\/04\/26\/amazon-echo-look\/?sr_source=Facebook\">https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2017\/04\/26\/amazon-echo-look\/?sr_source=Facebook<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon\u2019s Echo smart speakers just went in an unusual (but potentially very helpful) new direction.
