Now Google Glass Sex App to help you make love better

With Google Glass expected to come to market later this year, some very interesting apps too are in the development pipeline, one of which promises to boost your sex life! ‘Sex with Glass’ or just ‘Glance’ is an app being developed to allow partners having sex to see themselves from their partner’s point of view.

The app being developed by students based out of London, offers couples the chance to “see everything, from every angle” while making love, using a pair of linked-up headsets. The Glance app films a video of the tryst, so you can watch it later when all is said and done.

To get started, just say, “OK Glass, it’s time,” and the app will begin streaming what your partner sees in front of your own eyes. If you feel like stopping everything, just say, “OK Glass, pull out”. The app then puts the footage together and shows a video of the “whole thing”, but the video will be deleted after five hours unless you save it.

To make use of the app, both partners indulging will need to wear Google Glass during the act. The voyeur app lets you see two different perspectives seamlessly- that of you and your partner’s. It changes the way you experience something intimate, claims the developers’ website. The project was conceptualized at a Wearable Tech Hackathon.

The app has gained huge traction even before its release!
