Luxottica has confirmed it reached a strategic partnership with Google over its Glass eyewear, according to a report by Reuters.
Italy's Luxottica said in a statement it would now be developing, designing, and distributing a new kind of eyewear for the search browser's Glass eyewear.
Luxottica added that the two companies will work together in order to produce new wearable devices for the iconic Glass brand as well, according to Reuters.
Financial terms have not been disclosed yet.
Google Glass is a small computer in an eyeglass frame that works by using a prism to project images above the user's field of vision, according to Google.
The device allows users to access e-mail, take video, pictures, browse websites, and access social media sites.
Though still in the testing stage, people have been encouraged to participate in the Glass Explorer Program.
The program allows consumers to test Google Glass, and costs $1,500.
Oakley and Ray-Ban, Luxottica's two major brands, will be part of the deal with Glass but provided 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, according to Reuters.
