Tiresias [portable braille display]

BDot is introducing its own revolutionary system, Tiresias, a portable, costeffective Braille display for the visually impaired. With advances in the mobility of technology, it's no wonder that assistive devices also need to be more portable. While there are many models currently available, large, extensive displays are not affordable for everyone. Tiresias will prove to be a viable solution for any visually impaired person. A compact Braille display system will ensure easier integration of the visually impaired within society, allowing them to contribute as much, if not more, than any able-bodied Canadian. However, to ensure maximum effectiveness, it is the intention of this company to create a refreshable Braille display. By using compressible pins (in sets of six), ASCII characters will be read in, and translated into a corresponding Braille character. By using an innovative rotating system, these characters can be reset, to allow for continuous and seamless translation of digital information for the visually impaired.
