Once I was sitting at the Apple IIgs in my high-school’s computer lab using some software with headphones plugged into the back of the computer. I went to wipe away the dust on the screen and got a static shock right in my ear. It was not pleasant.
I wonder if you could find bright shapes on a black bacground. But Braille haptic devices and speech synthesizers did exist back then so that’s not a practical visually-impaired aid.
I have a small number of fine hairs on the back of my fingers’ first section. That’s the sharpest and most sensitive body part that fulfils the criteria and I think I could “scan” the screen with it. I also remember feeling something with the tips of my fingers, maybe ionic wind or capacitive current flow at 60 Hz (refresh rate).
Wild that most households just used to have a 25kV particle (electron) accelerator but maybe an array of 3x800x600 transistors (TFTs) wired by transparent coating on glass is wilder.
Fake. Windows 95 devs couldn’t have guessed I’d be seeing this on an OLED screen. The screens they targeted tingled when touched. /s

You didn’t only use the back of your arm, did you?
