Re: Braillists Forum: Surway on needs for a multi-line braille display

[E Rogers Braillists Foundation]

Hi Reiner

Good to have you on the Braillists Forums and good to see you have a new
Braille display concept being worked on.

The Braillists has a pretty good record of working with such projects.

What we always ask, however, is that if you want feedback on your work,
or input to help you draw up the specification for the project (such as
the survey you provided), then you will agree to take either the whole
or a subset of our community into your confidence on the technology
being developed. In short: What are the means of actuation? What
prototypes have you produced so far and who has tried them? Can a demo
be arranged if any of us are interested in being involved?

Are you happy to be candid about the technology, either publicly or
privately?

Thanks

Ed

Dear Ed and all,

I am Reiner Delgado from the German Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted.

The surway I forwarded you is from the Technical University of Dresden.
So I am not involved directly in this project.

I already told those from the university that many organisations come across with big plans on producing amazing new cheap braille devices and later we don't hear any more of them.
I think that the University of Dresden has the capacity and is seriously willing to do this project, but at the actual stage of the project they can not provide any more information.

I will forward your message to the university and tell you what they answer.

Nice greetings - Reiner

Thank you Reiner.

It sounds like you have the same interests and concerns around new
Braille technologies as we do.

I look forward to hearing back about their response.
