Subject: New Product Announcement: Canute Console From Dancing Dots

Dancing Dots introduces the Canute

Console Premium

Would you like to work on a Braille display that shows a whole page

at a time rather than a line at a time?

Would you like to use a high contrast 13" monitor synced to a 360

cell Braille display to collaborate with blind and sighted colleagues,

so both tactile and visual readers have exactly the same information,

layout and spacing?

Would you like to view spreadsheets as properly formatted

reflowing Braille tables, or generate dynamic tactile graphs from

them?

How about looking at live charts of the stock market, or exploring

city maps, creating your own tactile diagrams, playing classic

video games, watching sports or many other spatial

applications?

Would you like to use code snippets to whip up your own

applications, or work with the manufacturer to have a custom

application developed for you?

Across nine lines of spatial Braille — that's 360 cells — all the above

becomes possible.

If so Dancing Dots is pleased to introduce you to the newest edition

to our product range, the Canute Console Premium by Bristol Braille

Technology.

The best way to read and edit documents in Braille

Download and edit documents, Braille files and tables from the web,

company shared drives or USB stick and edit them on the Canute

Console.

Type on a Qwerty keyboard which pulls out on a tray under the

display and tucks away when you want to read without your wrists

pressing keys. A luxurious 360 cells of Braille that maintains print

white-space and centering and lets you read multiple columns of

text or numbers. You can even edit two different documents at the

same time, next to each other, on the same Braille display and still

have 160 cells per document.

With the Canute Console as your workstation you can write better,

review better, and you can collaborate better...

Collaboration between equals, blind or sighted

Would your organization benefit from blind people knowing with

confidence what something looks like visually? Or from sighted

people being able to structure documents in Braille or tactile

graphics without knowing the first thing about Braille?

The Canute Console is the first computer to feature parity of display

for touch readers and visual readers. The visual monitor and the

Braille display update to show the same information with the same

layouts. A blind owner can better check their sighted employee's

work, a sighted colleague can develop a tactile document for their

blind colleague, or two totally blind students can develop a spatial,

visual application without sighted assistance.

With a Braille display that mirrors the visuals, and visuals mirroring

the Braille, it unleashes new creativity in the field of tactile

applications...

Map, watch, play, explore, create, program, then publish

The Canute Console has a unique ability to push the boundaries of

what can be done with Braille and tactile graphics. Using Braille

characters as symbols you can and we have created whole tactile

worlds and experiences that were previously inaccessible by touch.

Console owners can create their own applications without prior

experience by using our system of simple code snippets. But you

don't have to because it comes bundled with programs including:

table viewer, graph generator, a top-down city explorer that

generates 5 yards per cell scale maps of any city, match replay for

broadcast football games with a blow by blow account of the ball

moved across the pitch, the classic arcade game Snake, free-hand

tactile image drawing... and the developers are always working on

more.

With the Canute Console Premium you get development time from

Bristol Braille to help you create your own application, or prototype

one for you and share it others. To date these collaborations have

included graphing, mapping the constellations, drawing early

Germanic runes, midi programming and public transport flow

diagrams.

The Console pairs the power of the Linux terminal, the BRLTTY

screen reader and the not-for-profit ethos of Bristol Braille, with the

ambitions of touch readers, to build a new future for Braille and

tactile graphics...

The Canute Console Premium is available now

Reserve your Canute Console through Dancing Dots to read the

whole page, feel what others are seeing and open up new

professional and personal opportunities.
