Tim and others,
Mr. Harrell's letter is very inteesting, but my own view is, how could
such an idea be practical. The information provided be practical? In
other contexts, contributors to this list have pointed out the lack of
resolution that the sense of touch provides. Several years ago, I
learned the optacon. Though I am a relatively fast Braille reader, I
never could gain that kind of speed with the Optacon. I think about
going to displays instores and museums that have large rasied print.
Unless such print is sufficiently large, I can't distinguish anything
useful. I would love to be able to feel a TV picture, but the fine
detail and rapidity of movement would probably present insurmountable
problems. I wish Dr. Harrell well. I just have my doubts.
