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