Using the CaptiView system, Top Ryde City is the first Event Cinemas location in NSW to roll out the new technology, allowing patrons to privately view captions with the latest release movies, every day of the week.
The yet-to-be-named system comes as eyewear connected to a small receiver, with the captions appearing on the glasses in sync with the soundtrack. The eyewear is being tested in Regal Cinemas in Seattle.
The pledge, reported by Hearing Loss Law online, was in the form of a declaration from Chief Operating Officer Randy Smith. It was in response to a lawsuit brought against a number of cinemas in the Seattle area by Wash-CAP (Washington State Communication Access Project) which is due to go to trial in March this year.
The pledge was not just limited to the locations in the Seattle lawsuit, but was for all cinemas as they go digital across the country.
