Last month’s press conference announcing the alliance between DreamWorks Animation and Barco generated a flurry of excitement among movie industry journalists about the potential of 3D cinema audio. “Auro 11.1 is a new way to mix audio for films which should create an immersive 3D sound experience for people sitting in a theater...It's fascinating audio tech, and hopefully gains more of a foothold with this DreamWorks deal. Increasingly, the home theater is able to compete with most of what a movie theater can offer, so I'm always happy to see improvements to the communal experience, especially when it results in an experience I can't replicate in my living room.” - Juan Carlos Bagnell, YourTechReport
