Current implementations of
DDR
specify steps the user must match exactly to score points. Someone recently introduced matching silhouettes but it is essentially the same thing. The

While listening to
Anindya Bhattacharyya (Bapin)
at "The Magic of Technology for the Deaf-Blind Population" workshop in Raleigh today I starting thinking again about Morse code. Bapin was lamenting the high cost of Braille displays.

He told about students they train at
Helen Keller National Center for the Deaf-Blind
having to wait for years to get the equipment they need.
