Ok, I dont know whether this is an animated material or something else, but need to know how to achieve this - or even just the static look of the white glowing line on the glass surface -

Ive gotten the reflective glass, but how to go about the rings on top? Or the animation? In cycles.

Use an object that is reflected on the surface.

Step 1: use a glossy material on the surface that you want to be reflective.

Step 2: create one or more planes with the shape you need, use an emissive material for them, and place them in a way that are visible as reflections on the surface of the reflective object.

Step 3: animate the position of the emissive plane so that it does what you need.

Fake the reflection with a texture (or image).

In this example an image is used as a texture on the eyes, the coordinates are animated.
