I've never heard of an Optacon on wheels to slide out of a case.
The slide button on the camera is to adjust the size of the image under your
finger on the array.

I haven't used an optacon for 25 years. Last week I had a chance to help a
friend who just received one for free. I was able to adjust the controls
and get the pins to vibrate and move the camera. All I could feel were
straight lines up and down. I picked a document I also had in braille to
see if I could read it. The optacon also looked different from the one I
had. The unit was inside a case and there were wheels on it to slide it out
so you could touch the display. I also don't remember what the button on
the camera is for. I'm thinking of buying a used one but would be hesitant
unless I can find some training materials and some oaccasional help. I'm
not sure what my friend is going to do with her model I think she wants to
learn to use it and I'd like to help but I need to learn to use it first.
She has never had training. My training was so long ago it doesn't really
count. I had to give up my optacon when I went to college and couldn't
afford another one.
