For those of you looking for Google Glass to die, its not happening. Last night, Google announced a new partnership for Google Glass w/ Luxottica brand for an exclusive line of eyewear using Glass technology on-board. For those of you who may not have heard of Luxottica, they are the parent company of Oakley and Ray-Ban eyewear.
Also a fun fact, Luxottica controls LensCrafters and Sunglass Hut that could allow Glass to be sold over 5,000 optical retailers. Consider that w/ Google + VSP, Google is looks to be ready to roll out Glass on a commercial level real soon. Now don’t expect to see your favorite line of the two lines sporting Glass anytime soon but nonetheless, its on the way.
The deal is limited to the US as those overseas may have to deal with Google’s rendition of Glass at launch.
