Going to the movies is one of my favorite pastimes. I much prefer to watch a film at the theater. With all the improvements in the theater experience in recent years, the only kink that has yet to be worked out is the sticky soda on the floor. Unless you are hearing impaired.
A trip to the movies for someone who is deaf or who has difficulty hearing must seem like only half an experience.
That will be the case only until the innovators at Sony headquarters in Basingstoke, England hash out all the final details on their subtitle glasses. The glasses project the subtitles onto the silver screen, but only the person wearing them can see the words so as not to interfere with other movie goers.
There was no mention of how the glasses might work while watching a mega-budget 3D movie like Avatar or how they will spell out those scary and jolting animal screams in a movie or the screaming concert fans in Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.
