Much of the masters have a score on one side, but others use what's called "interpoint," with braille on both sides, something that's harder for scanners to pick up.

According to Hanson, NLS has "contracted with a software developer to create a piece of software that will read interpoint and be easily editable," although its success remains to be seen.

Interpoint refers to braille printing that is offset, so that the paper can be embossed on both sides, with the dots on one side appearing between the divots that form the dots on the other. Using a computer or other electronic device, Braille may be produced with a braille embosser (printer) or a refreshable braille display (screen).

The semantic component of the evoked potential differentiation. Spanish Journal of Psychology, 11, 323-342. The sphere is four-dimensional, with interpoint Euclidean distances nearly proportional to numerical estimates of emotional differences. The axes of the sphere are interpreted as the opponent pleasant-unpleasant and active-passive channels, the remaining two being interpreted as “strength” and “calmness.” Chingis Izmailov hypothesizedIzmailov Ch. A., Chernorizov A. M. (2010).

The most exciting feature of projection pursuit is that it is one of the very few multivariate methods able to bypass the "curse of dimensionality" caused by the fact that high- dimensional space is mostly empty. In addition, projection pursuit are able to ignore irrelevant (i.e. noisy and information-poor) variables. This is a distinct advantage over methods based on interpoint distances like minimal spanning trees, multidimensional scaling and most clustering techniques.

Rafsky and Friedman qualified their test in a 1983 publication in collaboration with Stanford University and Gemnet Software. The two asserted that interpoint-distance-based graphs are capable of being used to define measures of association that extend Kendall's notion of a correlized co- efficient. For this research, Rafsky was granted the Theory and Methods Award from the American Statistical Association in 1981. Rafsky also holds ten US patents, focused on the syndication, delivery, and aggregation of news content.

In his later life, Kistler acted as director or chairman to several high-tech startups. These companies include Kistler Products, SRS, ICI, Interpoint, Paroscientific, and SPACEHAB, Inc. In 1993 he co-founded Kistler Aerospace Corporation, which was intended to produce a reusable space vehicle. In 1996 Kistler co-founded (with Bob Citron) the Foundation For the Future. The Foundation's original stated goal was to “increase knowledge about the factors that may have a major impact on the long-term future of humanity.

Most braille embossers support between 34 and 40 cells per line, and 25 lines per page. A manually operated Perkins braille typewriter supports a maximum of 42 cells per line (its margins are adjustable), and typical paper allows 25 lines per page. A large interlining Stainsby has 36 cells per line and 18 lines per page. An A4-sized Marburg braille frame, which allows interpoint braille (dots on both sides of the page, offset so they do not interfere with each other), has 30 cells per line and 27 lines per page.

An interpunct, , also known as an interpoint, middle dot, middot and centered dot or centred dot, is a punctuation mark consisting of a vertically centered dot used for interword separation in ancient Latin script. (Word-separating spaces did not appear until some time between 600 and 800CE). It appears in a variety of uses in some modern languages and is present in Unicode as code point . The multiplication dot (also known as the dot operator; ), which is frequently used in mathematical and scientific notation, has an appearance similar to the interpunct, but its exact shape and spacing may differ.
