*He's just handwaving, but it's an interesting demonstration that Google Glass is a search-engine database and not just a head-mounted display.
*Aggregating and displaying the calculation of many focal views is rather more "Augmented Reality" than most Glass applications to date.

"At a venture capital summit in Palo Alto today, he described using thousands of Google Glasses to aggregate audience attention, creating a heat map of the world’s most interesting things. He described a virtual beam of color shooting out from Google Glass, painting whatever is in front of it.
"Popular things, like the Eiffel Tower or the Mona Lisa, would be bathed in color, from every other Google Glass user who came before you. Less popular things, like random trashcans, would be color-free.
He said he could imagine Google Glass users going on urban safaris, hunting for places that no other Glass user had been before.
"Horowitz, who’s in charge of Google’s social products, notably Google+, was quick to say that he didn’t know about specific projects the Glass team was working on, just that the product fascinated him for its big data implications...." (((Well, yeah, and it also should remind one that Google Glass "competitors" who have better headsets yet lack Big Data aren't even in the game.)))
