According to the Sony blog, the company has unveiled new subtitle glasses that provide closed captioning for hearing impaired film fans.
“The glasses wear just like any other theater accessory, such as 3D movie glasses, but a projector along the top of the frame will display closed captioning in sync with the film,” reports Digital Trends. “This effect, according to Sony, will make the subtitles appear as if they are naturally on the screen.”
Text size can be adjusted by the individual wearer and the glasses will fit on top of regular eyeglasses if necessary.
The BBC reports that the first trials may begin in the UK. No word yet on U.S. availability.
“The necessity to program the dialogues of each movie into the glasses before airing the film might mean similar technology may not yet be available in a home entertainment sector, but if the subtitle glasses gain popularity, you never know,” suggests the write-up.
