It is actually still selling. The problem is Orbit has not got someone to
order a good number of them so they can drop the price. It currently sells for
$14,999. It is a tactile graphics display. It has HDMI input and a lot of
features. I actually have mine connected to the Raspberry PI 400 which is
pretty cool. I have all kinds of stuff wrote for it like Tactile tetris, a
plugin for NVDA that shows you anything you focus on in graphics. It is
amazing in word because you can feel all the graphics and the text and then you
can have a separate braille display hooked up to read the text in braille. The
graphiti has a 60 by 40 pin region with each pin having 5 heights and they are
4mm pin to pin center. Its pretty amazing. It was the last project I lead
with Orbit and APH as partners.

I was using google as a verb, referring to the act of using Google's search
engine to find out more information about the Orion TI-84, not as an adjective
describing the Orion as being made by Google... In retrospect, I think this
same confusion came up the other day when I googled Cygwin, PuTTY, and
PowerShell to find out when they were first released and got a reply that made
it sound like Google had made a similarly named Utility to Microsoft's offering.
I know the Orbit 20 is a Braille display(and hope the 20 is the cell count and
not an arbitrary model number), but since I have no clue what the Graffiti is
and googling it will probably just return results about urban murals, I'll ask
directly: What's Graffiti? I'm guessing from context it's some kind of
assistive technology that had a depressingly limited release for one reason or
another.

even will braille the results if you have an Orbit Reader 20. It also
connects to the graphiti if you are lucky enough to have one. I also use it
to
emboss graphs. Why did youput google in front of it? APH and Orbit made
it

*Googles Orion TI-84... Discovers it's exactly what it sounds like
given the
context...* I want one... Never used a TI-84 back when I could see,
and never got as much enjoyment out of the TI-89 Titanium, but I loved
playing around with the TI-83 Plus back in high school...
admittedly, I'm not sure how the graphing aspect would interact with
speech, but still, a high end calculator that can talk and has a
proper calculator keypad instead of having to work with calculator
programs using a keyboard designed for textual input, not mathematical input
sounds amazing.
And yeah, my three wishes if I ever found a benevolent genie's lamp
would probably be render all sentient lifeforms omnilingual, heal all
sentient lifeforms of all illness, injury, and disability, and grant
all sentient lifeforms the ability to take on their personal,
idealized form, but recovering all lost source code and publishing it
online in a way that would be impossible to remove all copies is a
strong contender for my fourth wish... That an a universal decompiler,
assuming I can't convince the genie that omnilingual includes machine code
and all programming languages.
