Abstract:
Immersive audio in the home is now way beyond 5.1 channel surround. The most advanced systems have up to 22.2 channels and place speakers at different elevations, including the ceiling. Beyond the number of speakers, object oriented audio now allows people to customize the way they consume content like never before. It lets them increase the volume of the voice track or decrease the volume of the background sounds to better understand voices. It lets them silence voices, like the announcers at a ballgame, if they simply want to experience the background noise in their program. And it lets them customize their experience in many other ways. This panel will cover the latest developments in bringing more advanced and more flexible audio into the home
