I don’t understand the problem enough yet to feel comfortable opening an issue about it. In contrast, I am reasonably comfortable with the display’s design concerning its ability to easily reconfigure (e.g., from 6 dot braille cells to 8 dot braille cells to some coordinate system for entering graph data). As shown below, the movable strings (green) are configured to partition the display pins into 12 rows of 32 columns of 6 dot braille cells.
Ideally, we would be able to observe the problems encountered by a person with expertise in both Julia and Nemeth code. My guess is that no such person exists. I suspect I will recruit a math teacher for the blind and just ask what would be needed in the prototype device to easily read and write Julia code.
There are a couple seemingly unexplored dimensions to this problem:
- Could variable height braille dots help make Julia code easier to read and write in any way?
- Can the device act as some sort of translator between some braille code and Julia code?
