# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Discussion (May 10, 2015)

* Namespace described plans for developing a one-handed keyer device for IoT (Internet of Things) and digital notetaking, with a target price of $30, motivated by smartphones being "awful notetaking devices."

* Kanzure shared portable keyboard solutions for notetaking, including the ZAGG FOLZKFLEXSLV keyboard and the upcoming TextBlade keyboard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwGK5RvNOFI).

* A research paper was discussed about enzymatic removal of antigens from red blood cells to create universal O-type blood through structure-guided directed evolution of glycoside hydrolase from Streptococcus pneumoniae.

* A discussion about DNA synthesis technology occurred, with kanzure arguing that pneumatic valve-based DNA synthesis machines are currently more practical than lab-on-a-chip approaches.

* CaptHindsight expressed disappointment about the current state of bioengineering, noting that films like Blade Runner had created expectations of much more advanced capabilities by now.

* A computational hydrographic printing technique (from SIGGRAPH 2015) was shared via YouTube, demonstrating a method for precisely applying color patterns to 3D objects.

* CaptHindsight noted that inkjet printing is limited by requiring line-of-sight from nozzle to substrate and optimal performance at distances under 5mm.
