Using the Acce-Play system, captions can either be open or closed, depending on the cinema’s preference. The open captions can be projected onto a 50 centimetre wide, 5 metre long screen under the main cinema screen. Closed captions can be shown either on a small personal screen attached to the viewer’s seat or shown on a set of interactive glasses.
Audio description, an extra audio track for blind and vision impaired viewers, is sent to wireless headphones as usual.
