The theater I used to work at had a light up marquee sign in the back that displayed captions in reverse. Then they’d hand out these little semi-transparent plastic sheets on flexible arms that you could clip to your arm rest. So just adjust the plastic until it’s in your field of view and reflecting the marquee in the back, and you had subtitles cheaply and without bothering anybody else.
That’d be AR not VR
If they had the subtitles on a real screen and projected the movie screen and room behind the subtitles via a headset display… Would that be AVR?
I mean, they have closed caption devices you can borrow. They fit into the cupholder and display captions for you.
Those are horrible. The captions are down there, and the movie is up there. And sometimes the arm goes limp and you have to prop it up again. And where do you suppose I put my drink? On the floor?
Why would you have a drink?
No, you absolutely do not want that.
Next time your in the theater, shine a torch on the seat, and then imagine it on your face.
It’s not VR, but there’s this: https://www.regmovies.com/sony-access-systems

I simply opened the link… No VPN or anything
My boss has AR glasses that transcribe conversations in real-time (more or less).
That’s absolutely amazing. I’m happy to hear that kind of thing exists for people.
Doesn’t BigScreen have this feature? I’ve not used it recently. Or are you describing something where the moviegoer puts a headset that just displays the subs, transparent for just the screen?
Evenrealities has glasses that I’m sure could accomplish this. With the added benefit of not getting pink eye.
Enjoy your pink eye
Gross would be the name of the theatre chain
lol I did not think about pink eye or consequences from sharing of the device. I’m happy to hear the technology exists though.
