Apart from that, the kind of lens that this Google Glass uses would have to be very, very different. After all, anyone who has seen Superman IV: The Quest for Peace would have noticed how he used some sort of magical eye rays to reconstruct the Great Wall of China, which was pretty corny when you think about it. Surely the lens in Google Glass would have to be strong enough to let Superman's heat vision pass through - without melting, and who knows, it might even function as some sort of ruby quartz visor that Cyclops uses (sorry for making a reference to DC's time honored rival, Marvel Comics), allowing Superman to even focus his heat vision in a pinpoint location.
Another interesting thing is, when Superman projects his X-ray vision, will Google Glass be able to capture what he sees in X-ray, or does it function as normal without anything out of the ordinary? If it is a case of the former, then I am quite sure voyeurs would be asking Superman to set up some sort of website that depicts all he sees in X-ray vision.
One thing is for sure, it would be a monumental task for Google to churn out a special edition pair of Google Glass just for Kal-El himself, and even then, it might actually cost Google enough money to do so in a way that hurts their bank account, so you can make a guess at just how much that would be.
At the end of the day, I would say that Superman would be better off without a pair of Google Glass, as it would most probably come into harm's way more often than not, and while the bad guys and supervillians do not mind losing in a fight with the Man of Steel, they sure as heck hate having their loss recorded on video for all and sundry to see on YouTube.
