Yes I have seen it. This is an off shoot of University of Michigan and was
called the Holy Braille.  If you do a search you can probably find a video
on it.   It runs on Air and the under lying  technology has a rubber mat
like material that pushes up pins.  It can run on a air pump or CO2
cartridge.  It has micro vacuoles that open and close to move the pins up
and down.  I like how compact the material is and I have helped with some of
my knowledge in the past . I have my worries about its power source but they
are showing the technology now and it can be resized to make larger
displays.  I say the more types of technologies out there the better.

Anyone heard of this company or seen their haptic display? They were at CSUN
this past spring.
