Re: How Google Glass Will Change Porn
#12I get they're hinting at using Google Glass for filming porn, but lets face it, no pair of glasses will ever produce high definition video as good as an actual camera. Maybe for amateur porn, but I'm sure amateur porn is probably being shot on mobile phones at the moment anyway. I'd take a Canon 7D for filming video over any pair of glasses any day of the week. Would a pair of glasses like Google Glass even have the capability to shoot long duration high definition video? Battery life, bandwidth and storage would be massive issues to overcome, you've seen what HD recording does to a mobile phone battery.
Google Glass will change how we access content on the go. The ability to look at a sign in another language and have it translated into your native language, now that's the kind of change I could get behind.
The one thing I worry about advances like Google Glass changing is child pornography. I believe devices like Google Glass will make it easier for creeps to secretly film children in shopping centres and parks, the beach or wherever. As someone who is planning on having children soon, that thought scares me.

#13Common misconception: Google Glass does not augment your entire field of view, as this article implies. It only occupies the top right corner of it, and looking there for more than a few seconds at a time hurts your eyes. So no, Glass isn't going to change porn like this at all.
Maybe not viewing, but the article also talks quite a bit about filming, in which Glass has a concrete advantage.
advantage over what? a GoPro?
in terms of Glass as a tiny camera, that technology already exists and has for a long time.

#14Sadly, this is probably the best use-case-scenario yet for Google glass.
On a sidenote, the porn industry originally chose HD-DVD, not Blu-ray.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding Google Glass myself, but doesn't the camera inside Glass capture a rather wide field of view? The Google Glass videos show that you can share your point of view with other people. The article is talking about filming this point of view, not to augment the porn actor/actress's experience during production.

#16I really want to like the concept of Glass, but I can't shake the idea that it is pointing in the wrong direction. First Utopia and now Utopian Porn. There are so many things that are revolutionary that we can talk about that Glass will allow. Imagine: There is an emergency operation. Patient is laying at the table and the surgeon could really use a specialist's help pronto. What better views can we imagine than the…

BMW introduced a kind of similar concept years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=P... it's actually an augumented instruction set, but I guess it could as well be used for human consultation when needed.

Oculus rift?

You're not misunderstanding. The field of view I am referring to is for viewing not recording, I should have probably made that more clear. Of course some will try and view porn on Google Glass, heck if you could view porn on a calculator I'm sure some people would try. As for filming I list a few questions in regards to quality, space and bandwidth. Will it seriously be possible to record a high definition long-duration POV porn movie on Google Glass? It doesn't sound plausible to me, not in high definition anyway.

#19I think the Oculus Rift is going to change porn more than Google Glass.

I find your examples "crime witness aid for police" and then "other non-big-brother things" a bit chilling.
I wouldn't consider a private recording a "Big Brother" thing. It's when recording is mandated and that you have no choice in sharing it, that it becomes "Big Brother"-ish.
Personally, I could see a passive recording feature (say, the last five minutes) as useful in this way. But then we're talking battery life, and I haven't read enough to know about such things for Google Glass.
