I always thought the way to make a  multiline Braille display was with  
a fingertip sized "mouse" that would actuate mechanical pins as you  
roll over a virtual page. You'd want the pins to have a much higher  
resolution than standard Braille so you could simulate smooth motion.

Does anyone make anything like that yet?
