🎥✨ Exciting news for cinema lovers! Gwyn Hall in Neath is now the first in Wales to enhance movie experiences for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences with revolutionary WatchWord augmented reality glasses.
These high-tech specs are a game-changer, displaying captions directly in the viewer’s sight line, making any film accessible without the need for special screenings. No more waiting for open-caption showings—just wear the glasses and see captions seamlessly overlaid on any movie. Plus, they’re lightweight and can be worn over prescription glasses and cochlear implants, ensuring comfort and accessibility for everyone.
Gwyn Hall’s initiative is a giant leap towards inclusivity, allowing more people to enjoy films together on the big screen. Jamie Brown, the CEO of Celtic Leisure, emphasises, “Cinema should be for everyone, and this innovation means all our customers can enjoy the same freedom and experience.”
Thanks to UK Government funding and the dedicated team at Gwyn Hall, a broader range of films can be appreciated at more convenient times. With this move, Gwyn Hall cements its status as a leader in accessible entertainment.
So next time you’re planning a cinema outing in Neath, don’t forget to check out this incredible technology and enjoy an inclusive movie experience! 🎬
