Not as clunky, though. A single ear plug is wired to a palm-sized control box linked to a CD recording in the projection booth. The other ear is open to hear theater audio with everyone else while a narrator describes what others are seeing. Narration is synchronized to avoid overlapping any dialogue, something akin to an old-fashioned radio drama. At times, the narrator describes topography, how objects are framed by the camera lens, or the sweeping movement of an aerial view.
Some language is worthy of a good audio-cassette novel read by an interesting, unobtrusive voice.
I know what DVS Theatrical did to stoke my imagination with eyes closed, but I can't imagine how it might stir someone without sight. The good will potential alone should make theater chains willing to attract this long-neglected audience. St. Petersburg Times. All rights reserved.
