Overlays now available for purchase

Hi Backers,

Since the experiment ended I have continued to work on the overlays - more tactile icon development with RIT Professor Deborah Beardslee and student Emma Echols, plus extensive in-home testing with Kay, Kirstyn and Lisa.  

Now to make the overlays available to others. The custom overlays are called HALOS - Home Appliance Label and Overlay System and are sold on etsy here.

Thank you for making all this possible!
