Wrist Watching: Amazon Patents System To Track, Guide Employees' Hands

A diagram from an Amazon patent application shows a human worker (labeled with "14") wearing an ultrasonic bracelet tracking his or her hand movements and providing feedback. The patent was granted on Tuesday.

The online retailer has acquired patents for wristbands using radio frequencies or ultrasonic pulses to identify exactly where a warehouse worker's hands are, and indicate if they need to move.
