@clive@saturation.social Hmm. That would be a tactile display. I guess you kind of want it to be the opposite for easier finger reading (can't say from experience, but I wonder what blind users would make of this).

    @TerryHancock@realsocial.life yeah, good question my guess is it wouldn't really be great as a tactile reader -- the effect is likely more significant visually than via touch

    @TerryHancock@realsocial.life Opposite would be more problematic, because those systems run on negative pressure as logical true (IIRC which is which). And the display is made such that positive pressure would probably unseal the segment at the silicon panel and make a large bubble. You could make a frame to prevent it, yet you're now in major redesign territory. I'd probably go straight to a braile display. (Now could a pneumatic system do ternary logic?…) @clive@saturation.social
