G'day all,
Remember also that not all blind people are totally blind. I could see a
great advantage for anyone with residual or deteriorating vision in
having both touch and sight cues from a tactile image.

I was able to view a protoype of this technology at the conference in 
Birmingham last December.

Being able to easily combine print images and tactile output in a single

document will significantly increase the collaboration possibilities 
between blind and sighted people. It's not that the Braille is colored
-- 
it's the graphics that can be integrated with the Braille that's a cool 
idea, along with the variable height capability of the ViewPlus
products.
