Karaoke for google glass

Karaoke for google glass seems like a good idea. Found someone who has already done it

They just started and are trying to get funding through kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1190241008/warblr-an-app-that-recognises-birds-from-their-son?ref=nav_search.

So, a friend of mine was just in a really bad car collision (not with another car thankfully). He was taken to a hospital and was unconscious and had fractured his skull.
