The optacon's retina has between 100 and 144 pixels. I read of a tiny camera
which goes with the Ipaq which has over a million pixels in its small
sensor. The Ipaq forms the basis for the PacMate and the Maestro PDAs.
Does this technology not hold potential for a future optacon device?
Scanners can also connect to Ipaqs, so a work station is indeed possible.
The Optacon II's display has successfully been driven by a host,
computerized device.
The ongoing bottle neck is the display.
Someone here will build me a replica of an optacon display so that it
can be shown to some industry friends in India in January. A weak
thread, perhaps? A slap against creeping obsolescence? An attack against
overwhelming odds?
Has Oleg's tactile display for the P2RD changed in any way?
