Matthew writes: Viewsonic has announced a new monitor for the blind, that, when combined with Viewsonic’s Braille font and the removal of all other fonts on the computer promises to make computers accessible for thousands of vision impaired users.
The monitor works much like a “bed of nails” toy that uses an array of tiny pins…

There's also a PDA for the blind coming with a small Braille 'display' and a Braille keyboard. Impressive stuff.
