Google Glass is currently in news because of the privacy concerns related to it. So Google made it very clear that they won’t be allowing facial recognition on Google Glass. The wearable device runs on Android and just like developers are free to create apps for smartphones running on Android, same way third-parties can create various kinds of apps for Google Glass.

Google has made it very clear that they won’t be allowing any kind of sexually explicit content on Google Glass. Any sort of nudity or graphics that show sexual acts or any such sexual content won’t be allowed on Google Glass. The information was revealed on Saturday when there was a discussion with developers on Glassware to help them understand which sort of apps they can develop and which they should not be making. Glassware refers to the apps that are specifically created for Google Glass.

Google released the official statement on banning of sexually explicit content after developers at MiKandi which is known for creating adult content apps developed a Glassware called ‘Bits and Glass’. Before this, Google had not released any official statement regarding sexual content.

The adult app boasts about itself as the first adult software for Google Glass. The app allowed Google Glass users to share sexual content to other users and on the internet. The app also provided users with premium adult photos and developers at MiKandi were planning to create more sexual content oriented apps. MiKandi came to know about the new announcement on sexual content from Google after the app was unveiled. The app makers had not approached Google directly.

After MiKandi released the app, over 10,000 people checked out the landing page of the app. Also, many visitors have even signed up for the app. Jesse Adams who is the CEO of MiKandi had stated that they had created the app by adhering to the terms set by developers. He added that Google had altered the terms just before MiKandi released the app. MiKandi promises to follow the new terms set by Google and even plans to make a new app that won’t contain any banned content.

The Bits and Glass app is currently live and already users making use of it. Adams said they will be making necessary changes to the app so that it meets the new policies. In the year 2011, Apple had asked MiKandi not to make use of the phrase “app store”. Many of the apps created by MiKandi have been already rejected by iOS and Android.

Google Glass comes with a small screen that sits above the right eye. The screen can be used to view the internet. Even the makers of Google Glass are advertising the device heavily; the device is still in its development stage. Google Glass won’t be releasing in this year and it will not be available for the general public until early 2014. The product is very innovative and both developers and public are trying to find out how it will be used. Before it is made available for the public to purchase, Google is working hard to make sure the product does not receive poor reception.
