Google Concept (not)

Take a look at this video:

Pretty clearly a concept video done by some students, right? That information’s all there, including the account name on Vimeo. Even the most cursory of verification checks would show that up.

So, it’s not like anyone would publish it as a real Google concept without doing the 60 seconds of checking needed, right?

Wrong.
