The only notable improvement is switching to Android. (Which I kind of assumed they were built on originally.)
I can't fault Google for trying to salvage something from the epic fail of v1, but that product video still has the faint whiff of cluelessness about human factors that brought us glassholes in the first place.
Case in point: I'm not sure I buy the video clip of the doctor speaking to the "Actor portraying patient" with glass on displaying medical history. I don't know if the medical benefits of having my doctor seeing 3 lines of medical history ("tremors, arthritis, hearing aid") outweigh the weirdness factor of having to speak to a guy about sensitive medical issues with a freaky-looking wifi-enabled video recording device strapped to his face.
Also noted that the only black person in the video is an actor playing the role of a patient, as opposed to a professional playing him or herself like everyone else. I'm sure Google's intentions for more diversity are positive, but this particular implementation feels a bit hasty. It couldn't have been that hard to find a black professional in order to complete the diversity checkbox.
[edit: removed sarcasm about diversity, added context]
