Includiverse Wins Backing From Innovate UK

Soundview secures grant to help make access to big screen entertainment more equitable.

We’re delighted to announce that our Inclusive Immersive Smart Glasses innovation for big screen entertainment venues and immersive domes has been awarded a grant from Innovate UK. The research and development funding will allow us to continue our work in breaking down barriers to accessing content. 

Inclusive Immersive Smart Glasses

The innovation provides subtitles in Augmented Reality (AR) smart glasses and will operate via the users smartphone. It will enable disabled movie goers to attend any film screening they wish, replacing the infrequent subtitled screenings.
