Text~Touch(sm): Haptic Highlighting/Rating of Text

Friends/

Not Only Is The World Not Black&White, It Is Not Just A Carousel of Color

TEXTURE
Wikipedia: Texture refers to the properties held and sensations caused by the external surface of objects received through the sense of
touch.

Using Other/Related Haptic Technology Readers Would be Able To Feel The Range of Textures Layered Over The Text Within A Corpus.

Such Texture Could Be Used to Denote Another Dimension Of The Text OR Denote Relative Importance.
