It occurred to me after writing that you might have meant media apps, to complement your streaming setup.

I actually have a semi–media related project I'd like to do at some point.

☑ realize that tardigrades are awesome.

☐ acquire a tardigrade in a petri dish.

☐ put it under a USB microscope connected to a server, streaming the live video feed to a monitor.

Voilà. Instant macroscopic pet tardigrade.

From that point, you can:

☐ stream it over the internet, for anyone to watch your pet tardigrade it all its glory.

☐ save the video to a hard drive.

☐ run the video thru image recognition software and write some code to do behavioral analysis—eating, sleeping habits, etc.

So far I've only gotten to step 1. Maybe once I get out of grad school and have some of this mythical "spare time" I keep hearing about.
