# Key Points from #hplusroadmap IRC Discussions

- Participants explored high-throughput typing alternatives to increase typing speed beyond 12-15 characters per second, discussing various finger tracking technologies including accelerometers on finger joints, infrared light absorption models, fiber optical curvature detection, and Samsung's Scurry project using gyroscopes.

- Research on smartphone security vulnerabilities was shared, demonstrating that screen tap locations could be identified from device accelerometer and gyroscope readings, as detailed in a paper from AT&T Research.

- The potential for creating biosimilar antibodies was discussed, specifically TNF-alpha inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents, with suggestions to leverage patent information to obtain sequences for synthesis.

- OpenSCAD, an open-source 3D modeling software, launched a new website at openscad.org, indicating ongoing development in accessible design tools for the community.

- A GitHub collaboration analysis tool was shared that visualizes developer networks, useful for understanding open-source project relationships and contributions.

- Creative technological projects were highlighted, including cinematic experiences created from Google Street View images and vertigo-inducing animated GIFs made by photographing landmarks from different positions across San Francisco.

- The discussions reflected interest in the intersection of art, technology, and human perception, particularly focusing on novel ways to visualize space and movement through digital means.
