Open Caption Standards Approach for Accessible Distributed and Immersive Theatre

很多时候，享受媒体、艺术和文化的新方式是事后才想到的，并没有嵌入到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，与分布式观众、增强和沉浸式内容体验一起开发。这意味着，研究如何采用一种开放的方法，将现有的“实体”剧院字幕标准化，并将其扩展到向观众提供表演的新方式，从而成为一种真正包容和共享的体验。我们的项目试图避免目前流行的专有方法，通过建立一个开放的标准方法，我们的长期目标是有机会使字幕表演通过多种技术更广泛地获得，这些技术将被用来吸引观众。欣赏表演的新方式的创新可能性需要是开放的和可接近的，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.
