I've been keeping up with the Dot braille smart watch, and I've even 
contacted the company about beta testing.


The last time I had contact with them, they said they were starting a 
large scale beta testing project with children from a school for the 
blind. I don't remember which country the school was located in. they 
had also come to an agreement with a Middle-Eastern country (maybe Saudi 
Arabia) about using their technology in public places. Everything was 
still in an alpha/beta phase.


My sense was that they're legitimate and that they're working hard to go 
from prototype to functional device.
