## driver A maintenance / companion app (accessed through a screen) to update the physical device’s (Bobtail’s) settings and modes. ## modes Developers may periodically add to the available modes which Bobtail may be set to. ### language Tailored tactile text. A font personalised using bioelectric signals so it works like an easy to learn high throughput phoneme based braille. May absorb tactile books (just as one does audio books). Unproven, speculative. ### music, audio Paired with speakers controlled by a tactile jockey (standing alongside an audio jockey). May pick up and render ambient sounds or by placed in-line with speakers to augment an auditory experience. Users may make their own audio-to-tactile transformations by uploading their own codecs (a trivial one may be to play low frequencies). Unproven, speculative. ### affective Two humans or non-humans wear Bobtail and the sensor readings of one are played on the other bringing them in harmony. Unproven, speculative. May also send predefined tactile emojis. ### situational May provide non-music clues when watching movies (e.g. doors shutting, texture of the road), playing video games (e.g. engines knocking, the breeze against one's neck), using a map (e.g. nudging someone so they take a turn) or other apps (similar to how an phone application may make use of audio cues). ### speech May address stuttering / stammering, speech tremors and act in lieu of an electrolarynx. Unproven, speculative.
