From: Wirelesss Design & Development - 07/30/2015

A Braille smartwatch is presented as an affordable E-Braille reader for
visually impaired people. Colin Moreshead in Tech in Asia noted that Dot's
Braille smartwatch represents a low-cost education and communication tool for
the blind. "With it," said Moreshead, "Dot hopes to return equal information
access to a demographic that has been left behind in the age of real-time

The price that they are targeting is below $300.

The watch module described in Tech in Asia: "four cells of six active dots
each – enough for four Braille characters to be displayed at once."
