[NFBCS] Canute

[carcione at access.net]

I was reading about the Canute braille display.  There's a link to an
article about it in the latest Top Tech Tidbits. 

It's a 40-cell, 9-line braille display.  The creators say it can be used to
read maps, spreadsheets, Powerpoint slides, flow diagrams, draw, and feel a
replay of soccer games, as well as play some video games.  Sounds pretty
cool, but has anyone here actually used it recently?  

I got a demo in early 2020, just before the pandemic, and it was
interesting, but the refresh was pretty slow.  If I'm looking at a
spreadsheet, I usually check one set of columns, then scroll to check the
next, and I don't want to wait for a long refresh.  I wonder if anything has
changed since, though.

The cost was 1895 pounds, so it would have to be a good thing to throw down
that money.
