Looks cool. Have you had feedback from people using braille displays? Can they understand these images or do they look like garbled text to them because it is using letter symbols without their actual meaning?

Sadly (or luckily?) I don't know anyone who has/uses/has to use a braille display. But I think that if the "reader"/viewer doesn't know from the get go that the following characters aren't text it'll for sure throw them through a loop... :'D

Most braille displays have only one line of output so a 2d image probably would not "come through" properly.

Please note: I neither can read or braille nor have I have seen a braille display so take what I say with a grain of salt.
