Ahh, that would be something. I wonder how detailed the raised areas
are. Would be nice to have the OSX equivalent of the voiceover braille
panel which can be positioned and resized anywhere and contains the last
spoken phrase.

Hmmm. The article is a bit light on details but it doesn't seem like
this is something in production today but rather an add-on like a

the equivalent of image edge detection and then put ridges around

How do you get it?

Yes, as with almost all AT, it is expensive and convergence will make
things financialy accessible as well as usable by us blinks.

I doubt it very much. Years of using an optacon hasn't damaged the
nerve endings in my left forefinger.

Yes, but it comes with a hefty price tag.
What i'm talking about is convergence, and we're certainly heading
that way. Various groups are vying for such technologies, from the
military to private laboratories, and the release of more of these
devices will bring manufacturing costs down, and
Hi,
I got to try one of the lollipop devices a number of years back when
it was purely a research toy. With a little practice, I could "see" a
Coke can on a table, roll a ball back and forth across a table and
find door frames while walking down a hall.

I believe that the current would be so minute as to not have any long
term consequence to the nerve endings. When you consider energy in
it's many forms, heat is one. And the nerves are being stimulated
through the epidermic coat. Furthermore, they are currently getting
approval from the f
Yes, this is what I was trying to get at. About six or seven years
ago, Will Pearson and I set out to make a 3D audio version of Visio
but we were still working on a 3D Eloquence when I left FS and the
project got canned.
John Gardner and the guys up at ViewPlus (the people who brought us
Would such an array of electronic stimulation points cause any long
term damage to the nerve endings in the fingers? This is about a
bazillion miles from my area of expertise so pardon any really dopey
questions.

Hi Chris,
Your point about flowcharts is a very good one.
There are a lot of interpolation of information which can take place
from one sense, of which i tend to think we have an overload, to
another which just as sensitive if not more than hearing. And these
interpolations can allow the bl
Hi,
I believe they are talking about an electrode array which gives you
feedback with leectrical impulses instead of pin mounted refreshable
display. That is the one allusion or addendum to what the iphone
already has through sound cues.
I find it interesting as it would allow, given the r
Sometimes a large surface with tactile clues is very efficient,
especially when one is trying to deal with angles, distances and other
relationships between tactile bodies. I would use a tactile atlas as
an example. If, for instance, you wanted to judge the distance
between New York and
I guess I'm not clear on what they claim to have invented. So are they
saying they've created a cheaper way to manufacture refreshable braille
devices? Or that they can make raised and lowered bumps of arbitrary
shape and size such as lines and circles? The article seems to be
unaware of voice
Here's an interesting read, and how lots of other applications can
have a touchy feely twist to them. All the better for the visually
impaired. Until the eye comes out that is
