AMT Lab @ CMU: In September, I began to explore assistive technology services within arts organizations and identified an apparent divide among the use of these assistive technologies by nonprofit arts organizations. Since then, I have been conducting research to better approximate the division in providing these services, including a survey of arts organizations (yes, you!) throughout the country. As survey results continue to roll in, let's take a closer look at one form of assistive technology: open and closed captioning. How are these captioning options used for performances and what are some cost-cutting methods to implement these services?

So, it has never actually occurred to me that captioning exists for theater and live performances. And I don't know how I would feel about open captioning simply because it is a random device in front of the stage. However, I guess if it is placed well and sort of blends with everything, it works. The idea of closed captioning is even less appealing because if it a device you must look out, you are not looking at the stage, and that makes a huge difference.
