The Holodeck

The Sound Works Collection’s obsession with movie sound continues. This time the cool content they’re bringing to us is a series of videos that take a look at Dolby’s new sound platform, Dolby Atmos, which intends on taking theater surround sound to a new, more immersive level. The reason this new way of developing movie sound is different from everything that comes before it is that it’s not so much concerned with speaker configurations and mixing the sound in a movie to hit certain clusters of speakers in a room. Instead, it views the soundscape a movie is creating as a three-dimensional plane of existence, like the Danger Room or the Holodeck, and it views the sounds in a movie as “objects” that are traveling around said plane.
