Since with Rear Window you can look through the subtitle display rather than having to look back and forth between the display and the screen, I find it the most natural. What do other subtitle users think?<br />Thanks for reading, Alistair!<br />SRedeafinedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04987084486695852155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-394601210865935956.post-1350552482732674882013-03-17T15:29:37.694-04:002013-03-17T15:29:37.694-04:00Hi there, I have recently tried a personal subtitle screen technology which has a huge drawback. A constant refocussing of the eyes from subtitles to movie screen is required which gives considerable eye strain. It would be good to know if this is a problem with the glasses too as in the UK we are trying to decide which technology to adopt in our cinemas. Comments would be appreciated.alistair cruickshankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13367122349798462116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-394601210865935956.post-79107563036961906542013-02-01T01:39:19.489-05:002013-02-01T01:39:19.489-05:00They are too HEAVY, hurt the bridge of my nose to wear them that it actually left an indentation! Ouch but they are neat to use aside from that. So yeah DeAfinitely less bulky and then I will be happy to use then :)deafeningchameleonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07540727397356258649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-394601210865935956.post-65237658174708011722012-11-29T07:51:48.084-05:002012-11-29T07:51:48.084-05:00A solution such as the Sony Access Glasses would be very useful for people with hearing loss in the UK. Although most cinemas now have facilities to screen the latest films with English-language subtitles &amp; audio description for people with hearing or sight loss, there are only around 1,000 subtitled shows every week around the UK. That may sound a lot but it’s only around 1% of cinema shows. In the UK, subtitles are on the cinema screen, for all to see, so require separate screenings - inconvenient for cinemas as well as audiences. <br /><br />Subtitle glasses would increase the choice of subtitled films and shows tenfold, which people with hearing loss would very much appreciate. Take a look at this page of feedback from the cinema-going public: http://www.yourlocalcinema.com/quote.html<br /><br />In fact a multi-language/caption/narration solution such as subtitle glasses or a caption display would enable under-served, untapped audiences Europe-wide to enjoy the cinema experience. Not only people with hearing or sight loss, but also people whose first language is not the local language.<br /><br />The content is ready - film distributors already ensure that most popular cinema releases are routinely captioned, audio described and subtitled in many European languages. Large-capacity DCP hard drives can easily accommodate a digital film and multi-language text/audio tracks. <br /><br />With ageing, loss of some hearing or sight is inevitable. Access to film via captions/subtitles and audio description/narration is something that we may all appreciate eventually. <br /><br />Derek Brandon <br />Twitter: http://twitter.com/yourlocalcinema/favoritesderek brandonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14541284200798723121noreply@blogger.com
