The greatest information we have heard in recent weeks about the next generation of Google Glass is the least connected watches will look like a piece of plastic, but more to glasses "classic". In fact, the Google Glass 2 would be designed by the Italian manufacturer Luxottica eyewear , suggesting that they could be very chic glasses , not a single piece of plastic that embeds Google's technology.

The news comes directly to the Chief Executive Officer of Luxottica, Massimo Vian, who said his company has partnered with Google to produce the next version of Glass, such as reports the Wall Street Journal.
"At Google, there are a few seconds thoughts on how to interpret the version 3 [glasses]" , said Vian at a meeting in Milan. "What you saw was the version 1. It now works on version 2, which is being prepared " , he continues.
A revival of the project?
Wait, there is also a third version? It seems that Google and Luxottica are very busy indeed about her. Vian's comments are very reassuring that some predicted the death of Google Glass, in response to the cessation of sales of the Explorer in January.
If we heard that the second pair of Google Glass was tested by a limited group of consumers in February, there was no sign of the participation of Luxottica far.
The Glass has not yet made a splash, leaving them on the nose of the technophiles. The renowned eyewear designer could provide just the spark they need to make their breakthrough . Moreover, putting Tony Fadell, the creator of the startup of the Nest thermostat (which Google acquired last year), head of the project, can resolve some other issues.
What is not clear is to know what will look like new glasses connected, and if they will have a new design. Early google glass versions have been criticized because of a too weak autonomy and the use of a rather older processor. It is possible that the new design can meet all its concerns.
Vian also mentioned that a product Luxottica is currently being developed with Intel, and will be available between February and March 2016.
