Abstract:
Several new immersive sound formats are under active consideration for cinema soundtrack production. Each was developed to create realistic sound "motion" and "immerse" the audience in a more realistic soundfield. This workshop is a repeat of the program presented at AES 133 in San Francisco, with the proponents of four of the leading immersive sound systems to discuss their specific technologies.
