back to article Devs write 'film my shag' sex app for Google Glass

It's difficult to imagine anyone wanting to get down and dirty with a partner who would willingly wear Google Glass. Yet one group of app developers is betting that Glassholes not only manage to get lucky, but also have a partner willing to film the whole sordid affair. The Sex With Glass app was created at a Wearable Tech …

    Why?

    Why would a glasshole need a woman? Surely Glass provides all he needs.

      I most strongly agree... after all you end up having "sex with glass" not with your partner !

        Re: Why?

        Nah - the next logical step will be to link it to the Internet of Thingies with the GoogleDoll (TM) that communicates with the Glass and responds to the voice commands. It might even respond to the sound of the Glasshole's panting with some appropriate noises.

        They'll need their own protocol though, as IP might be open to misinterpretation and trigger a reminder to refill the doll's bladder at an unfortunate moment.

          Oh, that's absolutely brilliant! That even gives them an "avenue" to accidentally "slurp" more data.

          They can collect vast amounts of "DNA".

    WTF?

    "We asked ourselves: 'How can we make sex more awesome with Google Glass?"

    You can't help but envisage this being said by someone with more knowledge of the theory (and theoretical research from certain mags/DVDs/websites) than actual practical "hands-on" knowledge?

    Aside from that, I'm unsure whether the article would merit more from a "Joke Alert" icon than the "WTF?" one, as the latter is equally appropriate to the thinking described...

    Glass half full

    I assume this will provide single handed operation. There will definitely be a need for image stabilization. Could lead to a whole new social media platform - F**kbook or twatter.

    I foresee a rapid spurt of development around this app. Perhaps leading to the adoption of a new programming language C-men.

    Glassholes carry their partner around with them, they've only go to take their hand out of their pocket and they can re-live the whole experience all over again, although maybe not straight away.

    "Simply swipe to a new perspective. And enjoy the new view. When you connect your phone, you can even see what it's like from any angle"

    Google Glass can bend light from behind an object so you can see it from another angle? Really? Or total bollox? You decide.

      @Stephen Gray

      If a google glass user really did get the chance of a shag he'd probably invite all his friends round to watch otherwise they'd never believe him, hence multiple points of view. On the other hand, how many friends do google glass users have? More likely they buy five pairs and put the spare ones on mannequins.

      I think the idea they have in mind is to use the camera on your phone, routing the video feed to your Glass screen. Or just get a big mirror on the wall/ceiling, then you can BOTH(*) enjoy the different perspective(s) thus afforded.

      Could be funny though, if the man gets to see the woman's glass view and see's that she's doing the online shopping, playing Candy Crush or something similar at the time too.

        o we now have a hi tech variant on the old 'If I'm asleep when you finish, pull my nightie down - it's cold'

        On the other hand, when a man is in the 'heat of the moment', imagining that he looks a little like a cross between a stallion and Brad Pitt, does he actually want to know what he *really* looks like?

        More to the point, does he want to be reminded of what he looked like in his glass replays?

    Bonus boost scores for position changes and variation.

    then your score is automatically posted to Google+ where nobody will see it.

    So, from reading the comments, no-one seems to be aware at _all_ of the massive, pre-existing, cash-in-sweaty-hands market for EXACTLY this kind of thing?

    People pay money for porn (hard to believe but true), and there is demand for: POV sex (where the viewer can then imagine they are the ones ploughing the stretch-marked, disease riddled whore the production crew picked up that morning), and an equally massive, and arguably growing, market for amateur porn.

    Glass will bring the two together in one sweaty, sticky, groping, lube filled cojoining, which after a few months, will start to earn certain people a metric fuckton of money.

    Laugh at the 'glassholes' if you will, the people writing this app are going to make themselves a fortune from this, and technologies like it.

      They'd point and laugh, especially if its not very good. And then turn around and gleefully share it with the world via 4chan or some other such insane website.

      No seriously, considering that most of the analysts at the CSS, the Military's arm of NSA/CSS are 18 to 25, it kind of fits the bill. I manage and train a bunch of 'em, I know what the kids would get up to without adult supervision. Hell, I'm surprised that there have only been five publicized instances of IG, CI, and CID investigations about Analysts having Collectors intercept a target that happens to be their wife or girlfriend.

      And given that both Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden got fairly large data hauls off of SIPRnet and in Edward Snowden's case, SIPRnet and JWICS and/or NSAnet without being caught immediately means it theoretically isn't very difficult. Or at least wasn't. They do warn us that they're monitoring, but I've never heard of anyone getting caught that way until they open their mouths to someone outside of the COMINT mafia.

    You also made the point that a great deal of sex was of equal importance.

    Again, I agreed. Wholeheartedly.

    In fact I remember your exact words: laughter and sex are the barometers of a relationship. This was the statement you made, if I remember correctly.
