Scientists continue to refine tablet computer devices for people with impaired vision. This time, researchers from the University of Michigan, USA, to strive for the visual beauty of the tablet can be felt through the fingertips.

"Blind people have only had access to a single line of a reading on their digital devices," said Alexander Russomanno, chairman of the project organizers digital tablet as reported by Wired on Tuesday. This amount judged too little too hard to understand.

During this time, a tablet computer that is using a plastic pin which is driven up and down by a motor. This technology takes a large place, and can not be taken away. The new tablets are developed utilizing a liquid or air bubbles that can 'burst'. Users can feel the pattern that emerges from this bubble.

Another advantage is that this new technology provides access to math and science. Access to digital Braille is still very limited in these two areas. "With this new technology, they can do fun things like reading statistical charts of a football game," said Sile O'Modhrain, a blind art professor who was involved in a tablet project.

Of course, this is good news for the blind. They no longer need to rely on altering software text into sound. Also, can enjoy the number of charts and tables in their tablets.
