[Nfb-science] Seeking Any Info About a Potential Product

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

Google for IFeelPixel (technology by Immersion technologies) and for 
Virtouch (a mouse that had 3 small optacon-like displays on it for 3 fingers 
to feel the surroundings).  I don't think that either of these is on the 
market any longer, and drivers would not be up-to-date.

Subject: [Nfb-science] Seeking Any Info About a Potential Product

Hi All,
  I just have a question about a product. For years now, I have heard vague 
comments about some type of computer mouse that can provide tactile 
information about what is on the screen. Some of the comments I have heard 
talk about this being useful for exploring graphical information such as 
figures in a research paper... Thus, I was curious if anyone knows if such a 
device really exists and if so, any information on it (e.g., where I can get 
more information  on it or knowledge regarding the value of it for things 
like exploring graphical displays). Because I do research along with 
teaching, it would seem as if this would be a really useful tool to have.
With kind regards,
Chris
