Video glasses keep porn private in public
Thu Jan 11, 1:10 PM ET
LAS VEGAS, United States (AFP) - Sleek video glasses that turn film viewing into a private affair went on view at the world's biggest porn show on Wednesday, just after they were demonstrated down the road at the planet's largest consumer electronics show.
Victor Quitoriano of Body Care Resort coaxed passersby to shut out the bustling activity at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo by sampling an intimate video viewing session complete with audio through an ear piece.
He had been demonstrating models of the same glasses at the Consumer Electronics Show a short distance away in the Sands Exposition Center just a day earlier.
"Our technology crosses over," Quitoriano told AFP. "The videos we showed there weren't porn, because we didn't want to offend anybody."
"Here, it's different. Imagine you can take your porn all over the place; in a plane or a train, but not in the car unless you are the passenger."
The video glasses, made in Taiwan and sold by California-based Body Care, connected to all of the lasted video-playing devices from Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game consoles to Apple's iPod and Microsoft's Zune MP3 players.
The model being shown off by Quitoriano carry a suggested retail price of 349 dollars (US) but were discounted for show-goers.
"The only competition I've seen is Sky Mall," Quitoriano said, referring to a gadget catalogue commonly found on the seatbacks on commercial airplanes.
Note the bulging lenses.
Is that porn in your glasses or are you happy to see me?
Can you drive and watch at the same time?
OK ... that's just gross.

Could of had a two'fer!!!!
Arrggggghhhhhh!
Just think of the interactive possibilites. Hey honey why don't you be Angelina and I'll be Brad Pitt tonight.
Doubt it. Too much pumping...the brake.
How reassuring!
That's probably the ultimate in avoiding reality - one step below soap operas and Democratic Underground. ;)
I suppose it's too much to expect that he's watching "Timmy and Lassie" in there.
OTOH... naw. Too gross.
Oh, they cross over alright.
Right over the line that separates good taste from slime.
But then, the porn industry crossed that line many years ago.
Might be hard to operate two stick shifts at the same time.
[Imagine you can take your porn all over the place; in a plane or a train, but not in the car unless you are the passenger."]
OR....you could use it in the privacy of your home and leave it there when you go out in public, like a civilized human being.
We've come a long way from porn in the woods. :-)
Hey! Enjoy some pr0n right before that Important Job Interview!
the ironic part of this to me is that I'm reading the article while listening to the Stephen Lynch song 'Lullaby'... (if you've ever heard it, you'd know why that's relevant)
I never knew Marty Feldman had children.
ROFL!!!!!
