Finding that relevant nugget of information suddenly changes from a simple exercise to a time consuming chore. That&#8217;s the problem facing blind computer users today who are forced to rely on expensive electronic Braille displays that only show one line of text at a time. Researchers have now developed a concept that could enable a full-page, refreshable Braille display that would allow the blind to take full advantage of the Web and other computer applications&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/blind\/\" rel=\"tag\">Blind<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/display\/\" rel=\"tag\">Display<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Related Articles:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/go\/8267\/\">New technology helping the blind to &#8220;see&#8221; images<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/k-nfb-cell-phone-solutions-for-the-blind\/8722\/\">K-NFB Reading Technology offers cell phone solution for the blind<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/go\/3673\/\">Ingenious solution adds printed text to Braille and tactile graphic documents <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/robobraille-text-translation-service\/9312\/\">RoboBraille online text translation service<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/go\/2933\/\">Navigation system offers travel autonomy for the blind<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/take-note-braillenote-apex\/13480\/\">Take note: the BrailleNote Apex<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/I2CctEEXilnWStmnHGyRZ-Moa9w\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/I2CctEEXilnWStmnHGyRZ-Moa9w\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/I2CctEEXilnWStmnHGyRZ-Moa9w\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/I2CctEEXilnWStmnHGyRZ-Moa9w\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=hEBoEr_QMko:bnc-ThzAuz0:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=hEBoEr_QMko:bnc-ThzAuz0:H0mrP-F8Qgo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=H0mrP-F8Qgo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=hEBoEr_QMko:bnc-ThzAuz0:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?i=hEBoEr_QMko:bnc-ThzAuz0:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=hEBoEr_QMko:bnc-ThzAuz0:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?i=hEBoEr_QMko:bnc-ThzAuz0:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=hEBoEr_QMko:bnc-ThzAuz0:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine\/~4\/hEBoEr_QMko\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When most of us are surfing the Web we generally do it in much the same way we read a newspaper.
