[nfbmi-talk] University Of Michigan Developing Fuller, Less Expensive Braille/Graphics Display For Mobile Devices

[Kane Brolin]

Hi, y'all.

Glad that the story I forwarded is having an impact.  But I know none
of the principals involved in developing this technology and can't say
anything more than what I originally forwarded.  Like all of you, this
is a tremendously exciting hpossibility, and I remain especially proud
that the intellectual capital on this project is being invested right
here in the Great Lakes Region of the United States.  Nice that we
don't have to wait for research to come to fruition on the other side
of the world before we can start benefiting.  Maybe some of us could
even be alpha testers or beta testers.

Perhaps U of M is keeping this close to the vest because they don't
want others to copy the essence of their methodology.  I know several
companies around the world are attempting to roll out this new, less
expensive Braille technology, and there is probably a lot of profit
potential in being the first successful mover in this area.

Kind regards,

-Kane
