Ray-Ban sunglasses maker Luxottica said on Monday it had sealed a strategic partnership with Google over its Glass eyewear that could pave the way for a new market in smart glasses.

Designers have worked up a projector-toting iPhone concept, giving Apple apostles a glimpse into the kind of ‘what-if?’ radical product design that's unlikely to ever feature on an official product from the House of Cupertino.
Traditional pico projector phones’ big USP is that they enable users to project videos and documents onto walls and other flat surfaces, exactly as home movie buffs did way back when. But this concept kit takes a very different approach.
Created by design studio SET Solution, the handset features projectors embedded on either side that effectively generate extra 'virtual' screens when the device is placed on a flat surface. That gives you a lot more display space to play with.
Best of all, as far as we’re concerned anyway, is that it also offers what it describes as 'real 3D video games', demonstrated in the clip by a 3D-graphics version of those ‘hoop-shooting’ basketball games you find at fairgrounds.
