We will exhibit the novel Metec BrailleDis 9000 pin-matrix device. This device consists of 7200 pins provided by 720 10 pin vertical Braille modules. The tactile area is about 300mm x 150mm with a dot spacing of 2.5mm in both directions. It will be connectable via the standard USB 2.0 interface whereas an external power supply is necessary.
The refreshable device allows to present tactile graphics on a matrix of 60 times 120 pins. The pin-matrix device is made up of a newly developed type of vertical braille module allowing for a compact assembly of all necessary components.
Additionally, the pin-matrix device is touch sensitive and capable of detecting multiple points of contact. Using multitouch features, novel multimodal interaction cycles can be realised with the braille display, such as a bi-manual sweep.
