This does not look like Braille to me. Braille is a system that uses cells composed of six (or eight) dots. This is just dots strewn all over the place.

Reminds me of this relatively new device in the space though: https://store.humanware.com/hca/monarch-the-1st-dynamic-tact...

OP here - So the way we rendering this we are using the braille characters that are available in the character set on the terminal.
That's interesting but not clear at all in the readme. Do you choose specific characters for their shade/coverage of each dithering cell?
ah yes, I went with the braille characters ascii values between 32 and 95.
This comment somehow comes off as obtuse.

Still, I'm confused as to what you're mentally expecting.
