Accessibility at the Movies
Sony Entertainment Glasses 
Picture
Regal Cinemas have distributed 
closed-captioning glasses to 6,000 screens across the country. 
Sony Entertainment Access Glasses 
are similar to 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. Ask for the manager to help you.
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 an angle that works for you. 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.
