Movie Theatre Captioning
Making Movies FUN!
Sony Entertainment
​Access Glasses
Picture
Regal Cinemas have distributed closed-captioning glasses to 6,000 screens across the country. Sony Entertainment Access Glasses are sort of like 3-D glasses, but for captioning. The captions are projected onto the glasses and appear to float about 10 feet in front of the user. The devices are usually kept at the ticket office.
CaptiView
AMC, Movie Tavern, Bryn Mawr Film Institute and Landmark/Ritz Theaters offer CaptiView, simply secure the device in your cup holder and adjust the flexible arm to the right angle. Once your movie begins, the device will present all the dialogue in text on your screen.
​Call or check online for specifics as to what your theater offers. Some theaters offer Audio Descriptive and Assisitve Listening Fidelio System, FM or simple amplifiers.
