An apparatus includes a frame, a screen supported by the frame for displaying an image; a first optical sensor for capturing an image, an extendable arm connected to the frame; and a second optical sensor connected to the arm for capturing an image. Such an apparatus can be used for capturing and displaying information for low vision persons.
A Braille display system can include a plurality of Braille cells; and a touch sensitive surface for providing input to the system. The Braille display system can include a plurality of modular portions, with each portion including a plurality of Braille cells. A Braille display system can include a docking station to receive one or more modules with a plurality of Braille cells.
An apparatus to capture and display an image of an object includes a frame, at least one optical sensor for capturing the image of the object, means for moving the frame relative to a surface of the object in a first direction, and means for moving the optical sensor relative to the frame in a second direction.

A braille display comprising an outer wall comprising an outer surface, an inner surface and a plurality of holes extending between the outer surface and the inner surface and which are arranged in an at least substantially regular pattern relative to each other. The braille display is further provided with braille cells wherein each braille cell comprises at least one tactile member which is movable between a first outer position and second outer position and activations means for moving the at least one tactile member between the first and second outer position. The at least one tactile member comprises a free top and each braille cell is located near the inner surface of the tactile member wherein each tactile member extends through one of the holes from the inner surface in a direction of the outer surface, at least if the tactile member is in the second position and wherein a position of the free top of the tactile member relative to the outer surface when the tactile member is in its first position differs from the position of the free top of the tactical member relative to the outer surface when the tactile member is in its second position, wherein each braille cell of a group of the braille cells is attached to the outer wall by means of a connection which acts on the one hand on the braille cell and on the other hand on the outer wall at a location adjacent to the braille cell.
Reproduction device, including registration means arranged to optically register an image portion that is to be registered of an image. The reproduction device includes electronic signal processing means arranged to process a registered image portion, and includes and/or is connectable with reproduction means arranged to reproduce a processed registered image portion. The reproduction device is provided with localisation means arranged to determine a position of an indication body that is moveable with respect to the image and with respect to at least a part of the reproduction device. The reproduction device is arranged to relate a position of the image portion that is to be registered to the position of the indication body.
