- Worth noticing
- The example audience view is labeled “Romeo and Juliet,” Act II, Scene 2, and includes director’s notes.
Field notes
The described audience flow uses a QR code in a program or lobby sign, with a short show code offered as an alternative. The sample view separates characters by color and shape and includes director’s notes; the page also lists translations, dramaturgical footnotes, and audio description. Theater sign-up is invitation-only, and the testimonials and theater examples shown on the homepage are placeholders rather than named users.
