Deaf theatregoers will soon be able to benefit from smart glasses that use augmented reality (AR) to broadcast subtitles. The UK's National Theatre (NT) has partnered with Accenture's Extended Reality Group to deliver the theatre company's live captioning service directly to the Epson-made glasses. Dave Finch, only around four of the NT's testers, said the glasses meant he could be fully engrossed in a stage performance once again.
