# IRC Log Summary - March 26, 2014

Based on the IRC log from the #hplusroadmap channel, there were relatively few substantive discussions on this day. The most notable content includes:

• A research paper on in vivo time-resolved microtomography was shared, highlighting the first four-dimensional visualizations of an organism's internal movements on sub-millisecond and micrometer scales, specifically showing how blowfly steering muscles operate through nonlinear mechanisms.

• A mobile app called RoomScan was discussed that can generate floor plans by simply walking around a room, with concerns raised about its file format (DXF rather than SVG) and potential acquisition by Autodesk.

• An open-source vehicle project called "Urban Tabby" was shared (osvehicle.com), presenting an affordable DIY car option comparable to a typical down payment on a conventional vehicle.

• A 3D food printer called "Foodini" was mentioned as having launched on Kickstarter, designed specifically for healthy eating applications.

• A medical paper was discussed about the successful use of coconut water as an intravenous hydration fluid in resource-limited settings, with additional context that coconut water is essentially cytoplasm since a coconut is a single megacell.

• Materials about animal intelligence research were shared, specifically referencing ducks being trained to perform tasks like playing piano at the IQ Zoo.
