Augmented smut..?



I'm not quite sure why this would be surprising to anyone but the first "adult" applications are starting to be talked about for Google Glass. For those that don't know Google Glass is an augmented reality system which projects useful information (or stimulating information in this case) directly onto a special set of glasses that the consumer wears. I can think of all kinds of new and interesting applications for this technology, for example showing someone's Facebook page as you're talking to them allowing you to find topics of conversation that are mutually interesting. Something like that would be at the more civilised end of the spectrum but there are undoubtedly more fertile imaginations out there thinking up all kinds of sexually oriented flavours of that idea, "picture this person naked" etc. Whatever technology we come up with from the printing press, photography through to the internet humans are interested in sex and therefore sex sells; after all when you think about it we're all just monkeys in shoes really..
