Moon is a raised form of characters, some of which look similar to the
print equivalent, though that is not true for the entire alphabet.
It is aimed at the elderly and at those with touch sensitivity problems,
for whom braille simply would not be suitable.
I'm afraid that there isn't much produced these days, certainly in the UK
anyway, I can't speak for ireland.
I do work closely with a team in RNIB called the Centre for Accessible
Information and they have Moon in their remit amongst other things. I'll
ask what's happening.
Steve

Hi vicsonians,
I have a friend who asked me about Moon. I think that it is a form of
braille. Can anyone tell me about it?
