Agreement No.: IS-2/110/NCBR/2015
Project Title: “Cinema for Everyone,” funded under the Social Innovations program by NCBR. The project is carried out in consortium with:
- Fundacją Siódmy Zmysł (the Seventh Sense Foundation ) – lead partner,
- Jagiellonian University,
- Maria Magdalena Gierat „Kino Pod Baranami”,
- Fundacja Na Rzecz Audiodeskrypcji „Katarynka” (“Katarynka” Foundation for Audio Description),
- Centrum Transferu Technologii EMAG Sp. z o.o.
PROJECT OBJECTIVE:
The objective of the project is to develop a solution in the form of a comprehensive platform that enables the creation, publishing, and distribution of audio descriptions and audio captions using mobile devices. The platform will include:
- a publicly accessible application for Android and/or iOS mobile devices that allows users to listen to audio description tracks or audio captions on their own devices,
- an editor for preparing audio description (AD) and audio subtitle (AS) scripts,
- a service for publishing, managing, and sharing audio description scripts by cultural institutions
EXPECTED OUTCOMES:
The expected outcome is the creation of a comprehensive AudioMovie system for creating and sharing audio descriptions and audio captions. This solution is designed to support the entire process, from creating, publishing, and distributing audio descriptions to providing convenient, direct access for all interested users without additional costs for specialized equipment.
The project also plans to develop a service (in the form of a portal or web service) for cultural institutions (such as cinemas, film festivals, museums, and galleries) and non-governmental organizations. This service will enable the publication and exchange of audio description scripts, allowing institutions to create their own audio-described materials, such as guides to their exhibitions or resources, and to share pre-prepared audio description tracks with a broad audience.
