A programmable display using microfluidics [video]
- behnamoh 1y agoThis is cool and all but even water droplets won't convince me to start learning Java. Nice try Oracle ;)

- Wowfunhappy 1y agoHow annoying is it to reset the game? Do you have to reload the water droplets every time? It's a shame that once the glass is added, it looks significantly less cool. (But you need the glass to make unique shapes.)
- xg15 1y agoI think he should try more stuff that aligns more closely with the original purpose of the device, I.e. programmable mixing and "routing" of fluids. From all the examples with the glass pane, I found those the most interesting. Maybe connect multiple of those devices together with hoses into some kind of "fluidics network", or build a hyper-exact cocktail mixing machine or something similar.
