Blogged about it a while back. I suppose it's similar to this idea in that it takes Google outside of the web environment and into a more 'real-world' environment. This Google Conversation ads idea is actually not that crazy and I imagine contextual billboards and real-world advertising to be something on the cards for Google.

You would wear a device on your waist belt that would contain all the guts and technology to project the bubble above your head in conjunction with a small projector device that you would wear on your shoulder or around your neck. This would be much easier to carry and would not muss your hair up. Surely Google could have created a holographic bubble that floats over your head?
