Hi Paul, Thanks for following. I had been trying to find you for the last week.  I had a suggestion made to me recently for my Braille keyboard/computer which seemed ideal for you. They suggested that i make the keyboard feedback 'Braille' through the keys, it didn'tt fit with my project, but you have all the hardware already :)

  Are you sure? yes | no

Paul_Beaudet wrote 06/09/2015 at 21:16 • point

The concept would work in a couple of conditions. One being that the feedback is responsive enough. The other being that the output needs to be consolidated / compressed in such a way that it would mimic how it feels to read at usable speeds. Both these things are true whether the output mechanism is in the keys or otherwise. Braille sheets and traditional displays meet both of these because the braille is already there and the readers fingers can be made to move over the braille as fast or slow as desired at -> ANY <- given moment. As an example an individual would read the word "as" or "because" much faster than "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" by a magnitude of time difference. In an active systems it is hard to determine the speed the reader desires. Anyhow I would be happy to help if I can, and am up for skype, hangouts, whatever you use to chat with friends.

Thank you for following! Look forward to seeing another prize entry from you this year :)

Well it looks like we share a love of synergy and dislike of its faults. This year I have other focuses more in the software realm, but I more then a happy to help folks entering this years contest if they are working on something interface / keyboard related.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hey Paul -- Which motion sensors are you using for the Jestertype? Are you going to train it using a neural network or something neat?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Paul_Beaudet wrote 11/17/2014 at 21:10 • point
JesterType was originally a fivekey I intented to covert to motion with a 9DOF I have from Adafruit - product #1714. Trig is sort of a weak point for me, so I'm a bit limited to what I can do until I brush up on my skills in that area. On a high level I know the derection that I would want to take with a learning algorithm that assigns motion character sequences. Unfortunately I have to measure time invested with results so I have been building progressively better keyers to cut my teeth, which I lump under the NeoType name.

  Are you sure? yes | no

I like the idea you are going with, but it seems over complicated. Just a thought. Drop the number of keys to 6, and put in the Braille key set. Then you can make an open source keypad for the visually impaired. As a visually impaired Maker myself, I think you would get a great response.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Paul_Beaudet wrote 06/24/2014 at 21:00 • point
Braille is what was started with, and for the most part just 6 keys are used. There is an older version running with Braille. The issue is that braille is difficult to feel with these types of sensations and difficult to remember for non-braille users. I simplified the layout to deal with this issue.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Actually you will notice that the github repo is still named Braille_Neotype_testing. :)
