Open Caption Standards Approach for Accessible Distributed and Immersive Theatre

太多时候，获得享受媒体、艺术和文化的新方式是事后的想法，没有嵌入到新创新的早期生活设计中。该项目的愿景是，为聋人、听力损失者和任何可能从字幕表演中受益的人提供字幕，同时开发分布式观众、增强和身临其境的内容体验--这意味着研究如何采用开放的方法来标准化现有的“实体”剧院字幕，并将其扩展到包括向观众提供表演的新方式，从而使其成为真正包容和共享的体验。我们的项目试图避免目前盛行的专有方法，长期目标是通过建立一个开放的标准方法，有机会在将被用来接触观众的多种技术中更广泛地提供字幕表演。欣赏表演的新方式的创新可能性需要是开放和可访问的，所以这个项目的目标是使字幕能够与新的消费内容方式的演变同步进行创新之旅。

Too often, accessibility to new ways of enjoying media, arts and culture is an afterthought and not embedded in the early life design of new innovations. The project's vision is that captioning for deaf people, those with hearing loss and anyone who might benefit from captioned performances is developed alongside distributed audience, augmented and immersive content experiences - this means looking at how an open approach can be taken to standardising existing 'physical' in-theatre captioning and extending it to cover new ways of delivering performances to audiences, such that it is a truly inclusive and shared experience. Our project seeks to avoid the proprietary approach that currently prevails with the long term goal that, by building on an open standard approach, there is the opportunity to make captioned performances more widely available across the multiplicity of technologies that will be used to reach audiences. The innovation possibilities of new ways of enjoying performances need to be open and accessible, so this project's objective is to enable captioning to take the innovation journey in step with the evolution of new ways of consuming content.
