I am interested in discussing a collaboration on the print version of
Wikipedia.

We recently developed a technology that enables the reader to press the
regular printed pages and connect to digital content.  This is
particularly well suited for enabling the blind who use Braille, the
motor-impaired who use pointers and stylus', and it enables the
presentation of multi-modal content (like ASL, sub-caption, audio, etc.).

This technology, called the touch user interface (TUI) technology works
with optical media, web-based media, etc.

Because the paper becomes a conduit to content, doing it in
non-alphabetic languages helps those without keyboarding skills or a
keyboard in their language, able to access digital content.

There are some videos of the technology in use by a 7-year old at:
