Braille Glove

So I was thinking... You know, after my bright idea of using Sign Language on the not-disabled for long range silent communication... What about other disabled-type things...

Braille. Braille for people that can see or are otherwise visually distracted... Then I thought of the Braille Glove. I looked it up on Google but they were mostly something about translating sign langauge. No, that's not it. The Braille glove would be fed like... E-reader texts. And I could read. With my fingers. Whenever. With a scrolling tactile sensor (those bumps?) on the tips of the gloves, just like a dynamic screen reader.

But then I wonder. How much cognitive effort is required in reading without the eyes?
