In order to succeed on the mainstream market, Google Glass will certainly have to seem “cool” enough for consumers to wear around as an everyday accessory.
To do this, Google has enlisted many different sunglasses manufacturers to design lenses, frames and more for Google Glass.
The newest designer is Rochester Optical (although not partnered with Google), which just announced new fashion sunglasses for the platform, which will be available internationally.
Patrick Ho, CEO of Rochester Optical, said his company wanted to bring something fun and stylish to smart glasses with its new line.
“The wearer can customize our sun lenses to his or her liking and express individuality – bringing style and art to the technology. We think we have achieved that,” Ho said.
The lenses will come in 14 tint colors and mirrored finishes to provide UV ray protection. See below for Rochester Optical’s press release.
