Amazon redesigns Alexa Home Map as an interactive 3D view

Amazon has overhauled Alexa Home Map into an interactive 3D view of the home and its surroundings, animating people and cars seen by compatible Ring cameras. Device controls, live camera previews and a 24-hour timeline sit in one interface; the preview rolls out later this year.

• The 3D map shows indoor and outdoor devices via Ring cameras with a 360-degree view
• A timeline lets users rewind the last 24 hours across all cameras at once
• Scanning rooms requires an iPhone with LiDAR and takes 15–20 minutes per home
• Preview arrives on iOS, Alexa and Ring apps, Alexa Tablets and Echo Show 16
