Looks like they want to make more people blind with that awfully small font and a lot of cluttered text. A bit sarcastic that a product for the blind has a pretty universally inaccessible site.
Anyway, really cool and useful gadget. I hope most or all people who need it get access to these devices in the future.
Dunno, but I actually found the site to be very pleasantly straightforward and relatively easy to read. Ctrl - Scroll UpDown in the future to change font size; it's a nifty thing.
I'm glad somebody else noticed the bad design. Here's what I was about to post:
Gah, that's an atrocious website design. The shadows don't make any sense and the shadow on the lower right corner cuts off. There's some extra shadow to the right of the tab bar, the tabs have hard-to-read colors, and the rounded corners of the tabs are a different color than the space in between the tabs.
I really wish that places would either A) hire designers that can handle effects, B) get their effects from somewhere else and don't try to customize them too much, or C) have their lower-cost designers do a simpler site.
I speculate, since I haven't got access to any more information than anybody else, but probably not. Remember, the tongue's ability to "taste" is actually quite limited; most "flavor" actually occurs in the nose, which this won't affect at all.
It's faintly possible that some hypothetical future device could do something with flavor, but it is another scale of engineering difficulty since it would almost require that you are physically releasing molecules, as in, "fuel". It's at least conceivable, since it's a myth that certain flavors are isolated to certain parts of the tongue, but I'd expect that by the time we had the nanotechnology chops to pull that off, we'd have real artificial eyes, and quite possibly real artificial optic nerves, leaving the number of people who would want such a device quite low.
I only meant in the context of eating something after using the device. I'm assuming seeing with the tongue would put one in a state of mind more ready to accept sight on the tongue, so I wonder what colors would do right after that. I guess it's also worth wondering if fizzy drinks would feel like tv snow.
Anyway, really cool and useful gadget. I hope most or all people who need it get access to these devices in the future.
