It's not from Google. This is only a hackathon to come up with ideas to enter in the #ifihadglass hackathon. There is no official affiliation.<p>The website was not optimized for mobile; because of the time limitations (contest just announced, ending in a week) everything had to be put together quite quickly.

This site is so goddamn weird, it might as well have been a parody site, if I didn't know it was an unofficial hackathon.

&#62;If chosen, you will not purchase a ticket of $1500 plus tax.<p>That's some strange wording. Could you clarify what it means?

It sounds like a joke: Using Google+ or Twitter, tell us what you would do if you could brainstorm ideas for Glass ... Google+ applicants will likely be ignored.

The site should be back up. We were using <a href="https://www.site44.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.site44.com/</a> , had to upgrade with increased load. (site44 is pretty awesome btw)

I'm confused. Firstly, the text in the header is not readable on mobile because it's the exact same colour as his jacket. Second, are they flying the winners to SF? Third, is the $1500 implying that you get a Google Glass for free? Fourth, is this a Google event or a 3rd party? It looks like an official Google site. Unclear. This was after one readthrough on my phone. Maybe I missed a FAQ link...

It seems like people really aren't understanding this.<p>The site is a parody of google's own "If I had glass" site that launched yesterday: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5249820" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5249820</a><p>They are looking for applicants to work together in a hackathon type enviornment to come up with ideas for the actual "if I had glass" applications. Pretty smart IMO...

There is a repeating error in the first paragraph.
