I am a STRONG voter for the Optacon r1d In God We Trust, Carolyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Catherine Thomas" <braille@xxxxxxxxx> To: <optacon-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, July 25, 2010 4:59 PM Subject: [optacon-l] Re: Pins in the Tactile Array There may be more factors thanwe have isolated governing what we can read with how many pins in the array. Someprint may not be effected by the denser array which is a higher resolution. Some fingers may be so sensitive that again the number of array pins may not matter, and as has been mentioned, some read better with a lesser number of pins. We do have a large amount of testimony in the form of mesages by users stating that the Optacon II simply is not as clear as the r1d. Personally, there are many things I can read with the r1d that I could barely make out with the Optacon II. But since this does not appear to be the universal vies, we will have to keep in mind a choice of arrays in any new Optacon design. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -Catherine Thomas braille@xxxxxxxxx / ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- to view the list archives, go to: www.freelists.org/archives/optacon-l To unsubscribe at any time, just send a message to: optacon-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the message subject.
