“Your presentation at your recent visit was very interesting, and your idea of displaying text information in a more visual and comprehensible format seems to make a lot of sense. Many of our students have trouble reading dense columns of textual information, and extracting the essence from what they read. I think your approach is novel, and could be a real breakthrough if text becomes widely available in the format.”
