Title: A visionary solution for the hearing impaired Written by: duddy on May 14, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_14_05_13_7_45_27.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=12353) For the hearing impaired, a trip to the movies involves a special screening time for captioned movies or a large, bulky viewer that can be distracting to others. New glasses have been developed to minimize this inconvenience. Captions are projected on the bottom of the glass. It even works with 3-D movies, without adding another pair of glasses. This device doesn’t only work for deaf patrons. Visually impaired moviegoers can boost audio and have descriptions of the action played directly into a headset. This technology will be available in thousands of theaters across the United States by the end of the month. |
