Subtitles are a two-edged sword - some people love them while others loathe them. I personally find it distracting, but folks at Madrid's Carlos III University for the Spanish Center for Subtitles and Closed Captions has developed a pair of Subtitle Glasses that gives subtitles even in a subtitle-free show. At least viewers in a public now have the freedom of choosing the option of having subtitles on or not. The Subtitle Glasses will retrieve information from a computer as long as it remains within a 50 meter range via an integrated receptor, projecting these subtitles onto the microscreen which is fitted over the right hand lens. Ole!
