[Tactile-Talk] List

[dan.tevelde at comcast.net]

Is this list still active? I haven't seen any traffic lately. I'm interested
in continuing the discussion of tactile displays. It was interesting reading
a blog post by Kirk Adams describing his impressions of the CSUN conference.
He noted that multi-line displays capable of displaying text and graphics
are too expensive for the average consumer. I think we already knew that.
It's like any new technology. I remember the first Kurzweil reading machine
was $50,000 and you only saw them at universities. Now we have reading
machines in our pockets. I can use my phone or Meta glasses to read text.
Could graphics displays become cheaper? I don't know considering the
situation with reduced public funding.

 

One comment Kirk made puzzled me. He said graphics displays should stop
using pins. What would replace the pins? He should have explained what he
meant which would have helped him make a case for his ideas.
