Subtitle Glasses At The Cinema
August 25, 2011
It seems to be the week when every disability group is talking about trying to make cinemas more accessible! These subtitle glasses could be a real step forward for cinema audiences who can’t hear. Please click the second link above to see a subtitled video of Charlie Swinbourne trying them out.
People who are deaf or hard of hearing have long complained that going to watch a film can be an unsatisfactory experience, with subtitled films on at unsociable times and often suffering from technical problems.
But a solution could soon available in the form of special glasses which allow the wearer to see subtitles directly in front of their eyes, giving them the freedom of choice afforded to hearing people.
Graham Satchell reports.
