[BlindMath] Graphiti / Graphiti Plus experiences

[kperry at blinksoft.com]

That is something you would have to ask from Orbit.  I can tell you in my
time with the project we made 3D copies of the graphiti and used them to
demo it.  The problem is you don't get a good feel for it that way.  The 3D
prints were to ruff and the swell paper prints were to low, and the Roland
prints were to flat.  The real problem is though the only way you can
experience the multi-heights and moving pins is actually to get your hands
on a unit and use it for a bit.  You might want to contact Orbit and ask
where the nearest unit is so you can get your hands on it.  There really is
no substitute for touching the units and using them.

Hi Ken,

I'd never heard of the Graphiti so looked at some of the online pictures and
also watched your interesting video with the microscope.  Also thank you for
your long post here which was very helpful as far as my better appreciating
how the Graphiti can be used in conjuction with other tools.

The appearance of a Graphiti screen showing raised pictures reminded me of
the detailed 3-D topographic maps made of plastic that have been available
for perhaps 50 years.  I was  wondering if it would be possible to use the
techology for making those maps to make some inexpensive scale models of
various Graphiti displays.  If so such models might be helpful for people
who don't have access to a Graphiti to get an idea of how valuable it would
be for them and even to help convince others.

Best wishes,
Susan Jolly
