I think the idea is that it would be there for a few seconds when first viewing the image, then it would fade/slide out of view. Then any mouse movement (or clicks/taps) over the image would make them fade/slide back in. Again, this is just like mobile platforms and nearly any video player, both native and web-based (like Vimeo, YouTube, etc.). I think it's a great example of adapting to modern paradigms while extending them to new areas. Of course if everyone thinks it's a terrible idea, we don't have to do it. But the feedback on Google+ (to which I won't link since Daniel has an unfounded fear of such things) has been overwhelmingly positive.
