If the active elements were convex instead of concave, I can imagine this being useful for people with visual impairments. How does this compare to existing technologies for braille displays?

The present US government would delight in finding a new way to funnel more yachtloads of cash to Larry Ellison, legally or otherwise, as long as someone in the regime gets something out of it.

The greatest enemy of a free market is a successful capitalist.

Cosine similarity of two normalized vectors is just the length of the projection of one vector on the other. That gives a very intuitive geometric meaning to cosine similarity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_projection
