This is a font (linked) that can be used to teach sighted
folks
to read Braille visually.
A logical extension would be an application that would
display
text in this visual Braille font and gradually morph the
text
into pure Braille at a rate that depends on the the timing
with
which
the user flips "pages" of text.
And then taking it further you could have a constantly
morphing font that would gradually teach you to read
anything as text and grow your brain at the same time.
Learning to read Braille visually is just learning to
translate each character in your head, disregarding
contractions, and, that it takes a while must mean that
there is some actual growing going on inside your head.
If you could make a computer program that could
measure how fast this process happens and optimize it
doesnt that mean that you could optimize the growth of
structures inside your brain? You could have cool little
organic statues in your brain.

But looking at something and feeling it are very, very different. It's the same reason that it's difficult to learn Morse Code visually. |

This is correct. The learning process can be greatly expedited by presenting the signal not in a visual mode, but in the form of a high voltage applied directly to sensitive parts of the pupil's body. |

There are people out there who are in the process of slowly going blind; I would imagine that this would be a pretty cool transitional tool for learning Braille. Two buns up! [+] |

I guess Audible Braille would be Morse Code.
Wouldn't it be more useful to teach blind people how to read Bar Codes, and ensure Bar Codes have raised surfaces. |
