Depending on how accurate it is the 3D mapping it could be huge. Any object on your desktop to 3D CAD for < $1000. The software would be the most critical factor in that and Google is one of the best at software in the world.

Google Glass will be neat around v3 or v4. I want augmented reality, not a portable monitor for notifications only. Some people that require both hands for work and need those critical notifications could really benefit from this though. Sports taking pictures would be useful.

Google Glass isn't for everyone, but it's definitely useful to many people.

You're right that most developers wouldn't go to the barge, but think about the places that the barges would dock. It could potentially draw some of the more wealthy population to come in and see all the interesting stuff their building. They usually have Apple products (because more expensive is better, right?) so getting them to take interest in some of their other products could be profitable.
