Based on the article the changes to the Roman alphabet seem minor; it
said 70%of the alphabet didn't change. I assume the changes are to make
the letters more tactically distinct so they could be recognized more
quickly and allow a smaller font to be used then you could get away with
by just using raised letters of the current alphabet.

It did look a little interesting, but I share much of the same
skepticism. I have no problem at all with Kickstarter, and I don't
even have a problem with the method of getting the letters to raise up
on the sheet of paper. However, I do have a bit of a problem with some
company saying they found something that works better than braille,
when what they really have done is try to change the English alphabet.
I mean really, if you're gonna modify an inkjet printer to print
raised letters, then you don't have to modify the alphabet in any way
except to make the letters larger so they are easy to feel. If the
target truly is those people who have become blind or visually
impaired later in life, then what is the point of making them learn
new letters, when using the same technique, they could simply read the
letters they have used all their lives? Just my thoughts.
