Deaf, deafened, and hard of hearing people have long complained about low availability of subtitled film screenings at times they can attend. With the support of the UK Cinema Association, Built For Good (BFG) has developed a system through which closed captions are displayed on smart glasses, enabling people to view subtitles for any film screening they choose.Our prototype system uses the latest off-the-shelf glasses hardware, and we are now in new phase of user testing so that the system can be refined prior to commercialisation. This project will test our business model so that it balances usability and availability for caption users with affordability to cinema operators who are still recovering from the pandemic. Profit would be reinvested in the technology, continually improving the user's experience and enabling our business to grow in the UK and in untapped markets in Europe and the USA.Alongside industry improvements in the availability of open captioned screenings, we believe the adoption of our technology will enable cinemas to better engage with the 12m+ deaf, deafened, and hard of hearing people in the UK who could benefit from subtitles.

长期以来，聋哑人和重听人士一直抱怨，他们可以观看的电影中很少有字幕。在英国电影协会的支持下，“为善而建”（BFG）开发了一种系统，通过该系统，智能眼镜上可以显示封闭字幕，人们可以选择观看任何电影放映的字幕。我们的原型系统使用了最新的现成眼镜硬件，现在我们正处于用户测试的新阶段，以便在商业化之前对系统进行改进。该项目将测试我们的商业模式，以便在字幕用户的可用性和可用性与仍在从疫情中恢复的影院运营商的负担能力之间取得平衡。利润将重新投资于技术，不断改善用户体验，使我们的业务在英国和未开发的欧洲和美国市场增长。随着行业在字幕放映方面的进步，我们相信采用我们的技术将使电影院更好地与英国1200多万聋哑和重听人群互动，他们可以从字幕中受益。
