Android-powered camera hat keeps mom in the loop and lookin' sharp

We've seen Android on a Mini-Note, and we've seen it on an Eee PC, but we never thought in a million years that we'd ever see Android on mom's hat. Looking for a way to simplify his mother's regular tech support calls (the universal remote often throws her for a loop) Dan O'Sullivan dreamt up his Camera Hat for Complicated Televisions. The whole megillah consists of an Android handset strapped to the forehead -- miner's lamp-style -- with a custom app streaming camera footage to the web, where he can keep an eye on things while he talks her through turning on The Price Is Right for, like, the zillionth time (if she's anything like our moms, that is). Hit the read link for some more info on the project and the full source code.
