That company unfortunately has gone out of bussiness before managing
to go beyond the prototype...  I once played with this producted (in the
truest sense of the word, they wrote a dart game for it).  AFAIR, it
had a optacon feel to it, i.e., the dots are very small, I am not sure
you can use it for braille without some sort of zoom...
