Pin Array Display

A type of tactile display technology that uses an array of individually controllable pins that can be raised or lowered to create tactile patterns, textures, and graphics. Pin array displays are used in 2D tactile displays to present graphical information such as diagrams, charts, maps, and user interface elements to blind and low vision users. The resolution and density of the pin array determines the level of detail that can be represented. Technologies like the BrailleDis 9000, Monarch, and Graphiti use pin arrays of varying sizes and resolutions to create dynamic tactile content.
