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 …

At least, I hope it is.

Re: This entire article is missing the "Joke Alert" icon.

Sadly this is no joke, Google Glass was after all invented by a German

[zb]

Why?

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

[Canopus]

Re: Why?

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

[Mike Smith]

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.

Re: Why?

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

They can collect vast amounts of "DNA".

Get my patent lawyers on the phone.

"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...

[Anonymous Coward]

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

Who are we to judge what Google Glass users do by themselves....

[Faye B]

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.

[Anonymous Coward]

But shirley

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.

[Stephen Gray]

"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.

[Anonymous Coward]

@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.

Ah, nerds on an IT site making fun about how other IT nerds don't get sexy action.

But not all nerds are professional nerds some of us are nerds when we need to pay the rent others take it a bit too far.

Well we keep appearing on the planet so at least one of us is getting lucky enough to breed more.

Re: @JDX

If "nerd" was a gene then yes.

Many IT folk are fairly normal, but the El Reg forum community is decidedly at the deep end.

[Nick Ryan]

Re: @JDX

Now is that the deep or the shallow end of the gene pool?

[Jolyon Smith]

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.

Oh god - I can't get rid of this image

So i am going to share it with you

Both partners wearing glass and sharing the view they are getting with each other in real time

[Anonymous Custard]

Re: Oh god - I can't get rid of this image

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.

[DiViDeD]

Re: Oh god - I can't get rid of this image

"...she's doing the online shopping, playing Candy Crush.."

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?

Re: Oh god - I can't get rid of this image

The film Strange Days springs to mind, 'nuff said.

I am eagerly awaiting Google Squids.

That movie was spot on on "current trends in cop behaviour" though.

But

Remember to wipe it clean afterwards

[Anonymous Coward]

I wear glasses (real ones)

And most of the time I'm glad I can take them off. It's bad enough for my self esteem while it's happening, but to be able to see it clearly afterwards, wearing my real glasses, no thanks.

If you say so, it must be true

"Footage is stored for on the cloud for five hours before being deleted forever."

Hahaha... yea... hahaha...

[Anonymous Coward]

Re:Footage is stored for on the cloud for five hours

Only five hours!

That means the foreplay scenes will be deleted before I even finish! :-)

Also - sort of reminds me of "Brainstorm" - the bit where the man is experiencing an looped orgasm.

[Anonymous Coward]

Re: Re:Footage is stored for on the cloud for five hours

Exactly.

Five hours, or forever. Depending on whether you've paid the inevitable hackers their fee.

[Anonymous Coward]

Re: Re:Footage is stored for on the cloud for five hours

There was a report last week of an unfortunate woman who experienced a continuous orgasm that lasted so long she had to go to A&E, though they're not saying what the treatment was.

[DiViDeD]

Re: Re:Footage is stored for on the cloud for five hours

I have the perfect cure for female orgasm.

It's all right, I'm going

Don't think I've heard of a better attraction for hackers. Is someone really doing this to get maximum pen [ahem] testing of the cloud?

Automatic point scoring.

I see little stars exploding in your view with "5pts" written on them..

Bonus boost scores for position changes and variation.

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

Of course your mates (if you had any) would down the pub, "Only 400pts last night! hehehe"

Re: iCondom

Sorry rounded things is already patented.

[Idocrase]

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.

[Anonymous Coward]

Presumably...

The devs have access to the cloud footage so they can see what they are missing out on?

Weirdos.

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

So if your partner is wearing glass as well does that mean you can switch to her view and see your awful cum face?

What would the NSA do with the knowledge?

Re: No chance

I see what you did there!

[Anonymous Coward]

Re: No chance

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.

From any angle?

Not ass long as the neck and connection points in the nethers have limited dimensions/extensibility?

From any angle? I guess the angle of the dongle and dangle make all the difference.

"... Completely new perspective"? How about "C*mpletely newd purr spec tive"? Surely it comes with haptic and forced feed back and feed front?

Well, these vids would be a way to speed up the commute in the tube, hahahaha.

How long before we see Graystone Industries spackled all over this? Will there be any digital eyedrops en(d)hancement as add-ons?

Wait.. Zoe and Lacy are calling for me... I seen an Endfinity cymbal, and hear some digital whips cracking the digital air.....

[Anonymous Coward]

Ah, more loverly Blackmail material

Are these people employed by the NSA, by any chance?

The Graystone ones were much better; this would often just be the wrong camera viewpoint for voyeuristic coverage.

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

with apologies to Irvine Welsh

You said when we embarked on this great adventure together, that lots of laughter was essential in a relationship.

I agreed.

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.

Don't get me wrong. I couldn't agree more. But no at the same time, ya fuckin cow.

Enhanced Reality! Think of it - you're shagging the mister/missus and yet it appears you are shagging a star/starlet(/sheep/robot/pumpkin/whatever). Of course you'd both be needing to wear them - fair's fair. Sign me (and my partner) up at once!

"Simply swipe to a new perspective" ???

What?

Change partners, like homescreens? Just swipe back and forth between them?

What happens to the ones that are not selected at that moment, do the continue to run in the background?
