This is indeed interesting. The fact that the device is worn on the
finger reminds me of the Optacon. It is of course far ahead of that
device. I wonder if Professor Shen knows that good Braille readers use
several fingers for reading. Even people like Oliver Sacks seem to be
under the impression that braille readers use only one finger. I like
his books, but I get the impression that he does not really understand
blindness.
