Hi Carl.
The concept of tactile tablets like this has been around for more than 10
years. When I was studying back at RNIB new college in the early 90's, our
mobility team would use one of these tablet devices and some software that
ran on dos with speech output to develop interactive maps so that we could
enjoy the combination of touch and speech and relate them to each other.
Obviously, the potential benefits at the time were enormous as she could
develop a thermographic image of a route, tack this to the tablet and then
create a route image using the software she had, so I who at the time wasn't
a very good route learner *smile* would be able to get a feel for it
literally. I guess things have moved on since then and this is probably
just an enhancement or extension of the original touch tablet technology
they had back then, just brought up to date and with the ability to run more
powerful and engaging content. The speech we had at the time was the
original Apollo, not at all the high quality of speech we have now even on
the most basic of systems.
Hope this little insight was useful.
