- MIT’s “Visual Microphone” project (http://people.csail.mit.edu/mrub/VisualMic/) demonstrates that ordinary 5 000 fps video can be used to reconstruct audible sound from the tiny vibrations of everyday objects, exploiting rolling-shutter artifacts.  
- A companion 2012 MIT thesis (http://people.csail.mit.edu/mrub/PhDThesis/) and follow-up video (https://youtu.be/W7ZQ-FG7Nvw) extend the technique to general phase-based motion magnification, enabling visualization of otherwise imperceptible temporal variations in video.  
- Discussion of an upcoming 1 000 fps consumer camera on Kickstarter/Indiegogo suggests rapidly falling hardware barriers for hobbyists who want to experiment with high-speed computer-vision applications.  
- RusEfi (http://rusefi.com/wiki/index.php?title=RusEfi:About) is an open-source, sub-$20 electronic fuel-injection controller targeting race engines, lawn mowers, go-karts, and “crack-pot science experiments,” built around commodity 100 MHz+ microcontrollers and real-time OS stacks.  
- Ohio State researchers announced a new method for remotely mapping magnetic fields via heat signatures (http://news.osu.edu/news/2015/03/23/heatmag/), potentially useful for non-contact sensing in bio- and neuro-engineering setups.  
- The rr debugger (http://rr-project.org/) was highlighted as a tool for deterministic replay and reversible debugging of complex software, valuable for reproducible research in AI and neuroscience simulation.  
- Ralph Merkle audio snippets from archived talks (https://youtu.be/705raszSLGA?t=2596) were mined for sampling into electronic music, illustrating the community’s habit of remixing transhumanist content into new media.
