Geeks everywhere, rejoice!! According to the New York Post, Google Glass is finally getting a much needed make over.

Since it’s launch, Google has struggled to make Google Glass attractive to mainstream users. And failed. Miserably. Users have even been dubbed, “Glassholes” by the public because…

Well. It’s impossible to wear them and not sort of look like one. If you know what I mean.

Add the unattractive look and the social ostracism to the hefty $1500 price tag, and Google has a real problem on it’s hands. This is where it’s new partnership comes in.

Google announced that it has partnered with Luxottica, the largest eyeglass company in the world and owner of Ray Ban and Oakley, and manager of chains Lens Crafters and Sunglass Hut.

Apparently, Luxottica will design their own frames for consumers to purchase separately. Google will continue to sell their own devices and frames for work.

Google has said it will be lowering the price for Glass when they come out with a consumer version later this year.

What do you think — will a lower price and more attractive frames convince you to give them a try?
