Google Glass news of interest to pilots and soaring app developers

Google Glass is an eyeglass mounted voice controlled heads up display, computer, video camera, Siri-like assistant.

This video includes a demonstration of someone wearing Glass while flying aerobatics (powered):

Google is accepting proposals for the privilege to buy a Glass from the first batch (for $1500).

If you get some good soaring footage with the Glass, it might be included in a compilation video promoted by Google (and viewed by millions). It's not in my budget and my life/flights are pretty boring, but I thought somebody on RAS might be interested (either an individual or a syndicate).

Secondly, Google is making Glass available to "App Developers" as well, so maybe someone might be interested in developing a "Glass Soaring App"... for example link the heads up display with flight instruments via Bluetooth. Use Glass as a Flarm display?
