'Google Glasses will be great for point-of-view porn': Adult film studio wants to get mitts on super-specs - but quite what search giant will think is a different matter...



Google has unveiled its new Glasses projects - a pair of specs which can film your life from the point of view of your eyes.

So it is perhaps obvious why a pornography studio wants to get hold of a pair, to make a new type of adult film.

But quite what Google will think of the idea is another matter: indeed in their official unveiling on Wednesday, the search giant said the product would initially be offered to business, industrial and medical use.

Perhaps the studio, Pink Visual, falls under that first category.

Ready for sale: Selected software developers have chance to pay $1,500 to order an advance version of Google Glass, which was displayed by co-founder Sergey Brin at the Google I/O conference on Wednesday

MAKING MEMORIES

The glasses seem likely to appeal to runners, bicyclists and other athletes who want to take pictures of their activities as they happen. Photos and video can be programmed to be taken at automatic intervals during any activity. Brin said he became excited about the project when he tossed his son in the air and a picture taken by the glasses captured the joyful moment, just the way he saw it. 'That was amazing,' Brin said. 'There was no way I could have that memory without this device.'

The glasses are designed to let users capture video with a built-in camera as well as use apps, the internet, and social networking sites on the move.

Pink Visual spokesman Quentin Boyer told PCmag.com that 'The style of porn known as "point of view" has been a popular type of content for quite a while now.

'Obviously, a device that allows you to shoot high quality video in a truly hands-free fashion will make shooting POV porn that much easier.

'To really know their full potential, we'll need to get a pair to play around with, but we're already dreaming up ways to use the glasses to get shots (sex-related and otherwise) that just aren't feasible using a traditional camera setup.'

Google points out that this is experimental technology, and a first generation device.

But for those who want the cutting-edge, and are willing to try something new, the glasses offer a potentially revolutionary way of communicating.

With the glasses, directions to your destination or a text message from a friend can appear literally before your eyes.

You can converse with friends in a video chat, take a photo or even buy a few things online as you walk around.

In development for more than two years, the project is the brainchild of Google X, the online search leader's secret facility that spawned the self-driving car and could one day let people ride elevators into space.

Google is offering the first shot at the the device, known as Project Glass, to people attending the San Fancisco gathering for computer programmers.

It will ship early next year and won't be available for sale outside the three-day conference, which started Wednesday.

'This is new technology and we really want you to shape it,' Google co-founder Sergey Brin told about 6,000 attendees.
