Moving Image Technologies will host a factory open house, including technology demonstrations on Thursday, January 20, 2022, following the International Cinema Technology Association seminars in Los Angeles, California from January 17-19, 2022. Demonstrations will include MITs’ new multi-language translator, a revolutionary system that enables outreach to an untapped customer base of non-native language proficient customers.In the United States alone, there are an estimated 70 million people who have a primary language other than English. This disruptive, new technology is a user-friendly and unobtrusive outreach tool that will allow theatre owners access to an untapped customer base enabling an enhanced cinema experience to a much broader audience.

Features of the new multi-language translator include:

Enabling multi-language screenings. The system leverages augmented reality glasses to allow multi-language screening capabilities live and in the same auditorium

Americans with Disability Act compliance. The system also facilitates sign language and meets other ADA compliance requirements enabling a higher-level cinematic experience for the hearing impaired

Global potential. The system is language-agnostic, allowing for international films to be shown in the original language of the film, while also offering multi-language capabilities to the audience regardless of the film’s original production language

The system will include AR glasses, combined with a monthly, recurring subscription to the translator service. MIT has previously demonstrated this product at trade shows and is planning pilot trials with exhibitors in early 2022.
