GLOBO Language Solutions has partnered with Space Center Houston to improve accessibility for visitors with disabilities attending 'The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks,' an immersive film experience about humanity’s lunar exploration. The collaboration between GLOBO Language Services and Space Center Houston introduces on-demand American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and high-quality audio description services. The move ensures that Deaf and audiences with visual impairments can fully engage with the cinematic presentation.
'The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks' combines historical footage, NASA interviews, and cutting-edge projection mapping. The ASL interpreter appears picture-in-picture, and the detailed narration of visual elements is sure to be a welcomed addition to the immersive film experience.
This initiative builds on GLOBO’s existing relationship with Space Center Houston, where it has previously facilitated thousands of interpreted interactions.
