I can’t wait to try these captioning glasses created by Sony.  Regal Theaters are already beginning to use them.  In San Diego, the Edwards Mira Mesa Stadium 18 has them available for every theater!

Don’t Leave Me Out!

This is a film about the vital need for captioning in everyday life. Real people made this video with true-life messages. Help us send it around now by sharing it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.  Produced by the Collaborative for Communication Access via Captioning (CCAC), an international volunteer organization that advocates for inclusion of quality captioning (subtitles too) universally.
