This geeky new technology may just bring a whole new dimension to sex ... but is it one we want?
It can't be denied that Google Glass is the wave of the future. If you're not familiar with this new technology, you should know that Google Glass is a wearable computer that looks much like a pair of ordinary eyeglasses .... only geekier. Also known as Project Glass, the space-aged-specs are purported to have about the same functionality as a smartphone. And, because Glass can take pictures and record video, it's only natural that someone would develop a sex-based application using this technology.
Sex with Google Glass, now known as Glance, is a voice-activated app that lets the wearer see …themselves, during sex. That's right, it's an app that lets you watch yourself during sex, seeing what your partner sees. Google glass doesn't impede your regular vision, so the app allows you see yourself and your partner at the same time.
I'm just wondering: Who the hell wants to watch themselves during sex?
Well, I suppose it might be neat to see my own O-face ... just once. But after that, it seems like any thrill would dissipate. Wearing it would have to feel at least a little silly. But wait, because the voice commands are an even sillier part of Sex with Google Glass.
To begin recording, simply say "OK, Glass. It's time." Just what any lustful partner wants to hear prior to intercourse. No word on whether or not Google Glass will let you change the voice commands. For me, the urge to name GG after a famous computer would be overwhelming. Who wouldn't want their own wearable version of "Ironman's" Jarvis, or 2001's HAL 9000? To stop recording, just say "OK, Glass, Pull out."
Yes, you really have to tell it to pull out. Apparently Google never got the memo on how unsatisfactory pulling out can be.
