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.
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.
Doesn't work properly in firefox, either. Not optimizing for mobile is fine. Yeah, it'd be nice, but it is an "extra" thing. having content cutting off in a major desktop browser on a large (1920x1200) screen? No excuse.
edit: Doesn't work in opera either, but it's not as bad.
I presume it's a parody of Google saying "Hey, if you 'win' the chance to get a set of Google Glasses, you still need to pay $1500 + tax to get a pair".
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.
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...
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...
