The "teardown" term here (in the <i>rewritten</i> title of the submission) is misleading, there seems to be no tearing down of hardware (as this term is usually understood), but rather digging up information from the published Glass kernel -- which is still a very interesting feat.
The sensor revolution continues. Gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, proximity sensors all packed in there with a wink sensor too. It's only missing a barometer, hydrometer and thermometer! Perhaps those will make it to a future production version of Glass.
One sensor that I have not seen mentioned anywhere is GPS. The pair I tried a few weeks ago had GPS built in and it worked when glass was not connected to a phone or WiFi.

TL;DR:
Google Glass runs on Texas Instruments OMAP4430.<p>Google Glass has a built-in Accel, Gyro & Compass.<p>Google Glass has a "glasshub"<p>Google Glass has a "Proximity" sensor.
