Subtitling

Boston Lyric Opera has turned subtitles into a character on stage. Designed by MASARY Studios, a multimedia design studio based in Boston, the animated text flows with the music, transforming a common distraction into part of the scenery.

Anyone who watches TV will be familiar with subtitles for those with hearing loss, but what if you want to go see a play in town? The UK's National Theatre has launched a new service that will allow hard of hearing audience members to see the dialog on stage by donning a pair of Epson smartglasses.
