Description:
ACCEplay is a R&D project that has developed the first low-cost hardware-software integrated device to provide unattended audiovisual accessibility in repetitive audiovisual events. The device has been already commercialized and introduced in a set of ten Spanish cinemas. It is installed in the cabin and synchronizes automatically the film that is being shown with audio description for the visually impaired and subtitles for hearing impaired people. Content is adjusted to the tenth of second and it adapts to complex situations like the loss of frames due to film errors, changes in projection speed, or even projection cuts.
The system is compatible with any projection system: 35mm, digital, DVD or blu-ray.
ACCEplay has been developed in collaboration with the commercializing company Navarra de Cine; it is being exploited, in a national expansion process and international prospection.
