By Stephen Jewkes MILAN (Reuters) – Luxottica, the maker of Ray-Ban sunglasses, has struck a deal to design, develop and distribute glasses based on Googles Internet-connected Glass eyewear, potentially bringing the new technology to a wider market. Google Glass is a small stamp-sized screen attached to a pair of spectacle frames. Italys Luxottica said on Tuesday its two major brands, Ray-Ban and Oakley, would be part of the deal, but gave no financial or other 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.
