Rear Window Captioning System

On the way into the theatre, viewers pick up a reflective plastic panel mounted on a flexible stalk.

Open captioning has been little-used due to the fear that it was too intrusive and noticeable to hearing viewers.

However, no studies have been conducted to elicit hearing people's opinions on how they will adapt to reading captions on screen.

Few movie exhibitors or theater chains choose to provide Rear Window captioning.

Often, "RWC/DVS" notation is used, indicating the availability of both Rear Window Captioning and Descriptive Video Service.
