What if you could watch a play presented in a language you don’t speak and have it translated in real time, right before your eyes? What if artists from around the world could assemble to create boundary-defying works without the difficulty of a linguistic barrier? You are invited to help make this a reality by “purchasing” a language on TIFT’s cutting-edge ARIA (Augmented Reality for Immersive Accessibility) Translation Glasses.
This prototype wearable technology translates and transcribes spoken text in real time so that audiences of diverse linguistic backgrounds may enjoy live theatre in the language they are most comfortable speaking or reading. With nearly 100 available languages and dialects, the ARIA Translation Glasses will also enable theatre companies to work with artists of varied language fluencies to create multilingual works that represent diverse cultures, and to reimagine traditional pieces for a wider range of theatregoers.
What’s more, ARIA conveniently provides an alternative to anyone whose hearing may be impaired with a live transcript of the piece which they may read while maintaining their gaze on the action.
How can you get involved?
Your $2,500 donation (in one lump sum or by installments) “buys” you one of the 96 translatable languages installed on the ARIA glasses. Your support will help acquire physical copies of the glasses as the development of the software is now complete.

Meet your new bff! If you have a spare room or two in the Barrie area, we would love to add you to our stellar roster of billet homes for actors and production staff. All the artists require is a place to sleep, a washroom, and if possible, a place to prepare their own food (which they are responsible for). Theatre artists are highly professional people who take up little space, are well behaved and take very little time or effort on your part. This is an amazing opportunity to get to personally know some of Canada’s top theatre professionals.
In return, we offer you two free tickets to any production in our season, of your choice (subject, of course, to availability). If you or someone you know are interested and capable of helping us, please let us know at admin@tift.ca or by calling 705-792-1949.
