[Social-sciences-list] Seeking Any Info About a Potential Product

[Andrews, David B (DEED)]

I have seen various prototypes and limited products over the year, but nothing that was quite ready for prime time yet.  I am not aware of anything viable in this space - but I don't know everything.  You might check with the NFB's Technology Center staff.

Subject: [Social-sciences-list] 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
