Because blind people can't see animations made with dots even if those dots were originally meant for the blinds.
Even if you were to print those on a braille display, it would be meaningless letters over and over.
- qiqing 9y agoWouldn't this library be useful for rendering graphs or diagrams in a braille embosser / printer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille_embosser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille_embosser Not sure if that's what Sir_Cmpwn meant, but that was my first interpretation of the question.
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoI reject this idea that a blind person is too stupid to recognize that the dots aren't representing letters when they use this software, and instead appricate it as a kind of art.

- Raphmedia 9y agoThe braille displays you typically encounter will only display one line of braille at a time. You are telling me that a blind person will be able to remember the entire line of gibberish as the geometric shape gets "printed" line by line and then remember those at 30 frames per seconds? Come on, it's not about being too stupid to understand. It's about this technology having nothing at all to do with the blind except for hijacking useful Unicode characters.
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoI can look at ANSI art without being baffled by meaningless letters. I'm inclined to credit blind people with the same ability.
