Hopefully Oracle wins in their case against Google, then, that would set a precedent to stop interface copyright violations. In a sense, sunglasses could be considered an interface, and anyone who copies the same shape of the interface violates that copyright (even if the materials are slightly different).

This is not how copyright works, depends on the exact application but material is typically not a determining factor.

That makes no sense. Glasses are not an “interface.” They are an accessory.
