The end product is to display 36 braille characters at a time on a 5" x 2" interface{{#tag:ref|Current functioning prototypes are moderately larger; the intended size assumes the ongoing miniaturization of its component systems.|group=note}} with an intended retail price around US$100.[2] With existing braille display devices priced in the range of $1,500 to $2,500, Tactile has been characterized as a potential "quantum leap forward for the blind community."[1] The Tactile team was awarded a $10,000 grant in the MIT IDEAS Global Challenge[1] and was accepted into the Microsoft Patent Program, receiving funding and legal counsel from Microsoft to apply for patent protection in the United States. The application was filed on September 16, 2016 and presently has patent pending status.[2] See also
