I thought people might be interested in this article regarding Dots, the makers of the Dot Watch, and a new device that they are working on with human wear and apple. It's a brail tablet... Which is a pretty cool thing if you ask me. The fact that apple are involved as well as the American printing house for the blind, suggests that this might actually come to market unlike other brail graphical interfaces.

Interesting
I remember my mom and biology teacher hashing out details on how to make a Cell, the human cell, with lentils, thread and other materials so I could know what the nucleus and other parts were.
Another time was to my embarrassment, a teacher made me come to the front of the class to outline the shape of I forgot what, on the board, with the play doe shape she had done for me. Of course, now that I am older, I appreciate her effort.
And when my classmates were describing the shape of.... I forgot how you call it, its like a square squeezed so it looks kind of misshapen? But I had some play-doe for some reason, and I said, Something like this? Showing them my creation, and it was! I made it out of their descriptions. This is as much as I had to do with graphical things when I was in middle school and high school. The graphics in the few books I could get my hands on at the time never caught my attention, because I could never make sense of them. But this was 1990, 2000s.
This will be grate!
Not sure what this could do for math, but it will be useful for simple things, in my opinion. At least for the totally blind, the ones that have never seen before. For the previously sighted, this will be even more useful with more complex graphics.
At least that's what I think.
Comments welcome!
This would be really handy
This would have been great in highschool in Maths and science.
