    I happened to have just finished writing a thesis on such a combination. The size of the little droplets is determined by the chemical wavelength of the reaction-diffusion subsyste…

    Yes! But intuition tells me that suspended particles moving past each other make a more fragile system than solid state devices. Also take into account the difference in refreshes …

    The pixels are classical mechanical, as opposed to LEDs (electrical) or other solid state devices. The particles in a pixel could deform/burst or clamp together over time, as they …

    I measured and split the latency between the main tasks of a single frame draw. The main culprit was network delay as I am transmitting raw pixels (one u8 per pixel) compressed wit…
