WL: The worry that we are calling for the invention of a haptic rendition
of graphics (upon which millions of $ and hours have been spent -
essentially to little avail) is what I believe is addressed.
Perhaps a clarification to the effect that this refers, *at this time* to
braille and possibly to some of the actual devices that "finger spell" and
do some crude sign language rather than a touch-sensed picture? I am sure
that we don't intend for the author to provide for a "raised line image" or
anything more esoteric than a presentation of text through braille?
