# Key Points from IRC Log

• QuantumG inquired about ferrofluids, with fenn noting that transparent ferroelectric fluids exist but require high voltages (a few kV) to produce useful effects.

• Utopiah shared a link to an 11.7T ultra-high field MRI system from Bruker BioSpin (http://www.bruker-biospin.com/uhf_human.html), which represents advanced imaging technology.

• Kanzure discussed Mac's "roboscope" project, which involves live streaming microscope video to iPads/iPhones, with challenges around H264 compression causing lag issues and potential synchronization problems between multiple viewing devices.

• Fenn suggested using webcams without delay problems, specifically mentioning the PlayStation Eye camera as a good option for low-latency video streaming.

• Several resources for video streaming technologies were shared, including links to QuickTime streaming resources, RTSP documentation, and Android video implementation references.

• A documentary project called "Remade: Rebirth of the Maker Movement" (http://www.electromagnate.com/) was mentioned, focused on exploring the Maker and Hackerspace movement in America.
