That's smart of Google. And refreshing to read a non-techie write about the Glasses. To be successful in a mass market you will have to appeal to these people, something the iPhone obviously did. This collaboration will give Google valuable data on what non-techies think about Glasses and will help them refine the concept and marketing. Plus it will give them some great marketing material with top models wearing their product. The film will help them experiment with what on earth you do with all of these video streams. Can't wait to see what they'll make of it.

I'm wondering if any of that work has been made available, eg. as an open source project? There's a standard practice among tech/web companies to share innovation on the infrastructural level, but I cannot name one example of a bank innovating openly in that way. Perhaps they do publish academic papers about their innovations?
