These tablets are designed by Touch2see

Ouh and we forgot to share the video of the pin display actuation. Exciting, with the new design we can achieve higher holding force as requested by users and managed to activate them! Sorry I cannot find the video on my pc but it is available on the ABILITY website here: https://www.ability-project.eu/news/successful-actuation-of-the-new-design-of-pins!
We have tried to make the video accessible with subtitles and audio. Please let us know if you encounter any issues or if you have any questions about the display!
