Zedshaw, you win coolest guy on the Internet today. Your response may have made Thanksgiving bearable for me by reminding me that good does exist in this black-friday-world.

Thank you.

As we all know, most illustrative game theory exercises are highly simplistic. I should have been more careful in my language choice stating that this was a variation of the classic prisoner's dilemma.

Why this is a master's lesson in strategy is two fold: 1) It cuts to the heart of the matter that all strategy is based on credibility. One would just need to look around at current events to see this play out. 2) It also illustrates that making the punishment guaranteed and removing all doubt of misunderstanding are essential.

Thanks all for the comments. As far as wavesounds, you jump to conclusions.

Currently, we are busy racking our brains and designing all types of field experiments that we could possibly do in a campaign setting once we get our hands on Glass. However, we thought we would ask you, because WE KNOW HACKERNEWS WILL HAVE FANTASTIC IDEAS!

For political campaigns, what are possible experiments we can run with Google Glass?
