Great !

You may want to have a look at the following websites, which are
similar projects, from oldest to most recent:

Do you have a website for your project?

As already said on the list, you're free to invent your own protocol,
implementing it in BRLTTY is a matter of adding another driver in
Drivers/Braille/, we can do that if you give us the specifications of
your protocol.

That being said, to get compatible with other existing screen readers,
it might be interesting to re-use an existing, widely used protocol.
