[Tactile-Talk] newhaptics

[Alfred D'Agostino]

Good morning.



Aside from the development of a full-page display from Newhaptics, and the
Graphiti and Monarch, are there any other existing devices or ones being
developed?



In general, what form does a graphic have to be in to be translated into
the raised-dot format? on these devices? That is, taking a photocopy and
digitizing it into bitmap; or if already in digital form, how is it
translated into ‘pixels’ on the  device.

How does a figure in a online digital textbook get translated? Is there a
standard protocol / interface?



Alfred
