Smart Theater
Smart Theater is the Korea-focused audience-access program that brings AI subtitle glasses into live performances for non-Korean-speaking viewers. Presented through VisitKorea's K-Performance initiative and backed by the Korea Tourism Organization, it gives theatergoers real-time captions in their line of sight instead of forcing them to glance at side screens. That shift is especially relevant for musical-heavy producers and venues including CJ ENM and Charlotte Theater. The program also gives technology partners like XpertINC a real commercial stage inside Seoul's tourism-facing performance market.
