Charlotte Theater Introduces AI Subtitle Glasses for "Kinky Boots"
Charlotte Theater in South Korea has announced the launch of a groundbreaking AI-based subtitle glasses rental service, set to debut with the musical "Kinky Boots" on the 17th of next month. This innovative technology allows real-time translation of actors' lines into various languages, projecting subtitles directly onto the glasses' lenses. For instance, if the performance is in English, Korean subtitles will appear for viewers wearing the glasses configured for that language. Developed in partnership with Expert INC, this marks the first time such subtitle glasses will be available for a large audience in a theater setting.
This new system is designed to enhance audience engagement by allowing them to focus on both the performance and the subtitles without distraction, improving the overall viewing experience. The service aims to cater not only to international audiences but also to those with hearing impairments, creating a more inclusive atmosphere for all attendees. Yoon Se-in, head of the live business team at Lotte Culture Works, emphasized the importance of immersion in musicals, highlighting this initiative as a significant step towards making performances accessible to everyone.
