Novel mechanism makes refreshable braille displays practical
Arduino Team — October 10th, 2025 Tactile displays — particularly for use as refreshable braille displays — have always been a challenge to design and fabricate, as they require so many moving parts. Every dot needs its own actuated mechanism and there needs to be dozens or hundreds of dots squeezed into a small space. Conventional micro actuators become very expensive and difficult to control in such quantities. But researchers at Monash University developed MagnePins, a...
