The team at TTLPL is now working to put Touché ( the refreshable Braille display)  on the market and reach out to as many visually impaired people as possible to ensure that the only form of literacy that they now have is not lost in time.  Touché has been eight years in the making and was developed into a product as part of a collaboration between Paul and Sapient Razorfish’s Kepler Lab in little over a year.  http://www.touche.world

The team at TTLPL  at the moment consists of Paul D’souza as the Chief Technology Officer in charge of the production of Touché – the refreshable Braille display-  as well as  development of other ideas on the burner, and execution of the same!
