Read Any Good Movies Lately?

By Robitaille, Suzanne; Business Week Online,
Publication Date: August 2001

Article discussing Rear Window, a captioning system for movie theaters. Rear Window is a tinted square of Plexiglass attached to a bendable arm that fits inside of a cup holder in a movie theater. Mounted on the back wall is a digital panel that resembles an electronic shock-ticker board. When the movie begins, the movie script is spelled out backwards on the back wall, and the plexiglass catches the words and reflects them to the reader.
