The added value of the device is really, only the braille display. This means that the first step is to design and build a proof-of-concept of the display. After that first step, the goal is going to build a complete braille e-reader that should be “field-testable“, meaning a device I can lend to a few blind people to get some return of experience.

In terms of timeline, as of right now, I only have an idea and a few drawings. I expect to finish the proof-of-concept display by the end of May 2023 and the field-testable unit by the end of August 2023 to get first return of experience by mid-September.
