구글글래스를 끼고 잠자리에서 연인끼리의 모습을 서로 찍을 수 있는 애플리케이션이 개발됐다고 영국 일간지 가디언 등 외신이 전했다.
레바논 출신 여성이 개발한 앱 ‘섹스 위드 글래스(Sex with Glass)’는 연인의 모습을 촬영해 실시간으로 서로의 구글글래스에 영상을 전송한다. 전송된 영상은 편집해서 저장할 수 있지만, 저장하지 않으면 5시간 후에 자동으로 삭제돼 프라이버시를 보호한다고 가디언은 전했다.
개발자인 셰리프 막타비는 영국 런던에서 디자인을 전공하는 학생으로 지난 11월 구글글래스를 처음 사용해보고 앱을 개발하기 시작했다.
막타비는 “혐오스럽다는 반응도 있지만 익명의 사용자들이 ‘멋지다’는 메시지를 보내기도 했다”고 전했다.

Google Glass sex app sees everything
Sex with Glass, a new application in development for Google Glass, aims to improve a couple's sexual experience, the Guardian reported.
The app provides shared live video streaming, video recording and voice controls for the lights and music controls in one’s connected home.
The project started off with the question “how can we make sex more awesome with Google Glass,” Sherif Maktabi, the founder of the project, was quoted as saying.
Maktabi, a Lebanese product design student at London‘s Central Saint Martins art college, had only one day with the smart-glasses at a hackathon held in November 2013, but development has continued in the months since then, according to Guardian.
Reaction to the app has been mixed. Maktabi cited responses that that range from “repulsive” to “awesome.”
Free app is releasing soon for iPhones first.
