[Athen] Google Glass Captioning

[Doug Hayman]

Jon,

We were talking to someone recently who said her google glasses kept 
overheating and shutting down with extensive use at a museum.

Wonder if the walking/transcribing person could also wear a screen/tablet 
on his/her back then stand in front of the person on tour and see the 
content...or of course the person needing the real time captions holding 
something like an iPad mini...getting the typed stream via bluetooth.

This study abroad is going to consists of about a dozen sessions that will be two hour walks around London and our CART provider will accompany the student on these sessions.  They should be close enough to each other, that I think Bluetooth will work.  That's why I'm mostly concerned mostly about the reception of captions.  I appreciate your ideas.

Unless something's changed, captionists still need to use those special phonetic keyboards on little stands....
