Earlier this year, the partnership between Google Glass and Warby Parker was announced. Although the capabilities of Google Glass are astonishing, the Google Glass design is not yet quite natural.
To imagine the possibilities of this collaboration, 'Sourcebits' created renderings to merge the technology that is packed into Google Glass with a stylish Warby Parker frame.
This concept covertly conceals the camera and glass prism so that it looks like the wearer is just sporting a pair of regular glasses. Although these designs are purely conceptual and Sourcebits product director Rahul Nihalani has not been in contact with Google Glass and Warby Parker, these are a very realistic representation of what the future of tech-integrated glasses could look like -- especially if they are to be aesthetically pleasing.
