*This indescribable scheme, direct from the aptly-named "RocketSpace Glass Hackathon," is so entirely weird that it belongs by right on Ray Kurzweil's website – especially now that Ray works for Google.
*I believe that I more-or-less understand what's going on here, but it would take me about a week to describe that in layman's terms.

"This just in from CrowdOptic CEO Jon Fisher, live at the RocketSpace Glass Hackathon in San Francisco, where his team just demo’d CrowdOptic’s new Android app for social sharing: crowd-activated Google Hangout On Air (live video broadcasting on a Google Hangout).
"The new app (still in beta) runs on smartphones and wearable computing devices such as Google Glass. Instead of one person launching an On Air broadcast, the new app uses group focus (what multiple people are looking at) around a shared moment or common point of interest to launch Hangout On Air.
" "You can now start or join a video stream just by looking at it," Fisher says. (((Jon Fisher always says stuff like that. Most AR biz CEO's are like "We are the foremost leaders of something-or-other in some marketplace," while Fisher and his spectacular enterprise can barely find the basic language to describe what they do. There's something sublime about them. I just can't help but enjoy it.)))
"A shared moment can be a predetermined event—such as a live concert or sporting event—or even a spontaneous gathering (e.g., a breaking news event such as a fire). The common points of focus around such events represent significant moments ideally suited for broadcasting via Google+ Hangout On Air."
