Wide Release of Google Glass to change the 'job' of Camgirls ?
from
(snip)It was bound to happen: A developer claims that he built the first Google Glass app designed for sex. No, not porn — sex. Sex With Glass is designed to let partners share their point of view with each other to "experience sex like never before."
The idea is that both parties will don Glass for the encounter, and the app will send a live video stream to the other person's display upon the command, "OK, Glass, it's time," letting them see what they see in real time. You stop the stream with the words, "OK, Glass, pull out," according to the app's website. ***
The developer is also working on an accompanying iPhone app called Glance, which will let users switch the point of view to the iPhone's camera to see the "whole picture." After the encounter, Sex With Glass will automatically create a video from the footage on all three devices that users can view later. Not that much later, though — it self-destructs after 5 hours, Snapchat-style.
Sex With Glass appears destined for a niche audience within a niche audience: Google Glass isn't even for sale to the public yet, and for those with access, the price tag is $1,500 a pop [ actually, Glass went on sale to the general public this week - sic ]. This app presumes a couple has two of the device. But even if you disregard the issues of price and availability when Glass is commercially released (likely later this year), the idea of both parties wearing an awkward connected headset while having sex will probably have limited appeal."(snip)

(snip)"Sex with Google Glass -- the very name is designed to arouse attention.
It's specifically an app project in development that lets two people share their video feeds so they can see their intimate acts from each other's perspective.
The app is designed to react to the wearer saying, "OK, Glass, it's time" to share video streams. When you're done, you say, "OK, Glass, pull out." It's the techie equivalent of having mirrors all over the room. The app is designed to gather footage and then compile it into a multi-view video, which could have broad implications for leaked celebrity sex tapes.
While the initial idea for the app centered around Glass, widespread Glass availability isn't a reality yet. Thus, the team behind the app is aiming for an initial release of a version of the app called Glance to iOS for the iPhone and iPad. The developers aren't ready yet to share how it will work, whether it would function with an iPhone's built-in camera or work best with an external video system. They may have to address the unsexiness of holding up an iPad while trying to get intimate: "Hold on, hon, I've got to open this app. Oh, look, I got a new e-mail."
The iOS-first approach may seem a little odd for an app originally designed for Glass, but it's about capitalizing on the burgeoning buzz. "It's an experiment. We are learning on the fly. And we want to put this in your hands today. That's why we started with iPhone," the team writes. They feel there's a good chance of getting the app into the iOS store quickly, while launching it as an official Glass app could be a more lengthy process.
Google has already said in no uncertain terms that it will block porn apps from Glass , but developer Sherif Maktabi is adamant that the app is not about porn. "If you read between the lines, we are not a sex app. We are something that changes the way you experience something personal," he tells CNET. "Our app is designed to be beautiful, minimalist, and simple. There is nothing sexual about that."
This leads into how the app could launch in the iOS, Android, and Glass universes without a massive burden of scrutiny. It doesn't have to be sold as a sex app. It can be marketed as simply a way to share viewpoints. Indeed, naming the app Glance explicitly leaves out any reference to sex -- the word that got the concept noticed in the first place.
The developers are talking about working in light- and music-control features (to set the mood). The app could also offer suggestions for sex positions.
The Sex with Google Glass site mentions that the app will automatically erase videos after five hours, but Maktabi said there may be an option to save the videos for longer"(snip)
I doesn't require a whole lot of speculation to see where the future 'business model' for adult camming might quickly be headed ... i.e. paid 'remote' electronic sex partner !?!?!? All that would really be required is an on-cam partner with a Google Glass, and paying customer{s} who can 'share' the on-cam partner's P.O.V. while 'directing' on-cam activities !!! In other words, a live streaming version of the 'interactive' adult videos popularized a few years ago.
