Immersive sound—Taking Hollywood by storm and rapidly spreading around the world, Dolby's Atmos and Auro Technologies' Auro-3D advanced surround sound formats are impressing audiences with fully enveloping, more natural sound environments for cinema and home theaters.

Join Mix in the only event of its kind, as we break down the technology and art of Immersive Sound.
