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?

[Always Right]

Can you drive and watch at the same time?

OK ... that's just gross.

Damn....had to miss CES...but AVN was held as well????

Could of had a two'fer!!!!

Arrggggghhhhhh!

[Always Right]

Just think of the interactive possibilites. Hey honey why don't you be Angelina and I'll be Brad Pitt tonight.

[TADSLOS]

Can you drive and watch at the same time?

Doubt it. Too much pumping...the brake.

[JillValentine]

"...but not in the car unless you are the passenger."

How reassuring!

[Mr. Jeeves]

That's probably the ultimate in avoiding reality - one step below soap operas and Democratic Underground. ;)

[martin_fierro]

I suppose it's too much to expect that he's watching "Timmy and Lassie" in there.

OTOH... naw. Too gross.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"Our technology crosses over," Quitoriano told AFP.

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.

[JillValentine]

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.

[Thrownatbirth]

We've come a long way from porn in the woods. :-)

[martin_fierro]

"Here, it's different. Imagine you can take your porn all over the place..."

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)

[Slings and Arrows]

I never knew Marty Feldman had children.

In 2007 if you think of porn and "Timmy and Lassie" you get a very different picture.

[martin_fierro]

Ronery. Oh, sooo Ronery.

"Enjoy some pr0n right before that Important Job Interview!"

You're giving them too much credit - they'll watch porn during the interview, sitting next us on a plane...

think about the millions of self-absorbed schm*cks who talk on their cell phone on a public bus...

[King Prout]

all kidding aside, I wish they'd give technical information on the display system, whether it has stereo-optic capabilities, whether it can be linked directly to digital cameras/gunsights, etc...

[kinoxi]

Hey dad is that Stevie Wonder?

No son, let's just move over this way a little bit.

[wallcrawlr]

[BJClinton]

So...you take your seat, throw a jacket over your lap, put the glasses on and enjoy the ride.

LMAO!!!

And w@nking is supposed to make one blind, here is the proof:

He can't see where he's going!!! :-P

[blau993]

Can you drive and watch at the same time?

I once saw a guy driving a convertible with the top down on K Street in Washington DC at the height of the evening rush hour who had a video screen mounted in the middle of his front console. Playing on the video screen for all the world to see (and booming out of his speakers for all the world to hear) was a very X rated video. Some passers-by were laughing. Others were turning away in disgust. The driver was totally engrossed and totally oblivious.

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

I've seen similar scenes, with X-rated fare playing on in-car video systems. It's actually fairly common. Usually it's a big SUV but I've seen one minivan with shall we say very rhythmic action in play on its screen. So far my kids haven't noticed, though. Good thing-- in the early days of in-car video systems, they'd be riveted with envy. Today, shrug. That's fortunate.

I wish the politicians would quit beating on innocent cell phone usage and start doing something about porn pollution on the roads.

[dfwgator]

Porn is the new mother of invention.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

Might be hard to operate two stick shifts at the same time.

Yes, but only in stop and go traffic. I shift quickly, so my hand doesn't stay for long on the decidedly smaller of the two shifters-- the gear. For highway cruising that's not a problem.

On the other hand, if I foresee I will do a lot of shifting in stop and go traffic, but not for changing gears, I take the Automatic.
