Google Glass may still be a pipe dream for most people, but the Internet giant is already planning ahead by tying down a partner to produce prescription lenses for its smart eyewear.
Google first confirmed its plans for prescription lenses back in March, but as Slash Gear notes, Venture Glass’s Tim Moore has revealed a tie-up with Rochester Optical, which will produce “custom prescription, fashion, and sport lenses for Google Glass”, with a view towards making these available to buy in early 2014.
A separate press release also reveals that Moore will be hooking up with the optical firm’s marketing and technology teams, contributing to the R&D for wearables, as well as providing digital support for marketing.
