New Captioning System Makes Live Theatre Accesible to the Deaf
Posted by Fraser Lovatt on 9 September 2003 at 3:34 pm | Tagged as: Platforms, Gadgets
Sound Associates’ Personal Captioning System (PCS) is a wireless handheld device featuring a colour LCD that deaf patrons can take to their seat. Captions are sent to the device synchronised to the show’s lighting cues, so the text is always in sync. The handheld uses a light polarising filter so theatregoers sitting nearby are not distracted.
The system is currently being used for the musical Big River at the American Airline Theatre in New York.
