Designers put Project Glass in the frame

As Google's Project Glass augmented reality eyewear continues its software development phase, eyewear designers around the world have offered their interpretations of what the technology could look like in their eyewear.

One of the companies invited to submit designs by Bloomberg Business Week was British eyewear brand Cutler and Gross. Its design director Marie Wilkinson updated its 0734 ophthalmic frame and spoke exclusively to Optician about the design.

'The 0734 is an iconic Cutler and Gross style that has been made in many forms since the company was first established in 1969, and it seemed right to look back when we look forward,' said Wilkinson.
