Possibly Off-Topic: Elia, a tactile alphabet proclaiming to be an intuitive alternative to Braille.

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Based on the article the changes to the Roman alphabet seem minor; it 
said 70%of the alphabet didn't change. I assume the changes are to make 
the letters more tactically distinct so they could be recognized more 
quickly and allow a smaller font to be used then you could get away with 
by just using raised letters of the current alphabet.
