National Theatre in London introduces smart caption glasses

Starting from this autumn, the National Theatre in London will be offering D/deaf audience members the chance to book a pair of augmented reality glasses (or Smart Caption Glasses) which project subtitles onto the lenses.  

 Initially the glasses will be on offer for Hadestown and War Horse, but the National plans to roll the glasses out for all their productions by next spring.  

There’s more information about the roll-out plans here: https://britishtheatre.com/high-tech-caption-glasses-national-theatre/
