All the stimulation experiments to date have used very low resolution dot patterns. It's just a practical system to use. Even if it were a recently acquired blindness patient, it's just a simpler, easier , less exspensive system to use. Braille is a system of dots and very few at that.

Good work anyway. Projecting braille patterns, that’s weird, why not project usual letters instead? Good work anyway.
