Hello Colleagues:

I recently received information about a group in France that is working on a new haptic device. The unit consists of a stylus, graphics tablet and two braille cells. The braille cells are used to alert the user that he/she has found the edge of a shape. The user moves the stylus about with one hand and the other hand feels the braille cells. If anyone wants to see the papers, please let me know.

Regards,

Robert
