[Menvi-discuss] Full page refreshable Braille display!

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
They talk about having it be the same size as a kindle. I'm sure it will be
a little bigger because a kindle is not 40 cells by 25 cells like a piece
of paper.
I don't think it will be much more than a good sized laptop.
Thanks,
