I think the part of it for VR is that the Focus displays are among the few left that don't have onboard memory or note taking capabilities, which is an important thing when wanting to use one at work. The Focus 40 Blue is a great choice though for a braille display, but I wish there could be local repair or some loaner program vailable for when you depend on it for work to get around querky controls that won't activate with anything else but a cursor routing button.

I hate my old PACMate 20. I’ve also used a Focus 40 Blue which I also liked. I prefer these to my Handitech Braillino which only works with my Mac and refuses to pair with my iPhone.

However it looks like the only braille displays they carry our humanware. In my view, that's a serious limitation, humanware and freedom scientific being the least interesting braille displays on the market. No offense to you humanware fans. I just think it's too bad that they're not carrying Hims products or Baum products. cheers, Donna Sent from my iPhone On May 12, 2016, at 3:07 PM, 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> wrote: Maybe I missed this in another thread but you can now buy braille displays, switch interfaces and eye gaze trackers from the Apple store: http://www.apple.com/shop/accessories/all-accessories/accessibility Selection is kinda thin at the moment but I'm sure they will keep adding stuff over time.
