Ray-Ban maker to work with Google on Google Glass eyewear

Ray-Ban sunglasses maker Luxottica said on Monday it had sealed a strategic partnership with Google over its Glass eyewear that could pave the way for a new market in smart glasses.


In a statement, Italy's Luxottica said it would design, develop and distribute a new kind of eyewear for Google Glass.


Google Glass is a small stamp-sized screen attached to a pair of eyeglass frames. It can record video, access email, and retrieve information from the web by connecting wirelessly to a user's mobile phone.


Luxottica said the two groups would work together to create innovative wearable devices for the Glass brand.No financial terms were disclosed.


Luxottica said its two major brands, Ray-Ban and Oakley, would be part of the deal with Google, but gave no further details.


"We believe that a strategic partnership with a leading player like Google is the ideal platform for developing a new way forward in our industry and answering the evolving needs of consumers on a global scale," Luxottica chief executive officer Andrea Guerra said.
