While common in other countries, audio description services—which enable visually impaired audience members to enjoy the performing arts—are rare in U.S. theaters. Jess Curtis/Gravity Inc. seeks to assist a wider range of Bay Area venues and presenters in serving visually impaired audiences by supplying this service, specifically describers and hardware, so attendees can hear what is happening described live via headset. Gravity has beta-tested its audio description services and now seeks to bring its audio description program to more audience members who have visual impairments.
