I am hoping that Dolby is at CES this year and they have a release date for their newest processing that will certainly supplant "Atmos" as the new, newest of the new processing systems! Rumor is it will be called "Dolby Natantis" They call it "Natantis" because Natantis is Latin for "Floating" and what Dolby intends to do is employ a series of Drones that will each carry a wireless Di-pole speaker in a Diappolito Array, of course, that will hover or "Float" (see what they did there) around in a theater and will only move when the object based sound is processed or detected! Imagine this, you see a bird on the screen and it flies toward you (in 3D or not) and a speaker equipped drone picks up the "Bird/Object" and carries ONLY the bird sound and flies from the front of the theater buzzes around a bit the whoosh right out of the back of the theater it goes, then the Di-Pole Speaker equipped Drone flies back to it's original pre-determined location and awaits it's next mission be it a bird, bullet, bear or what ever object. Dolby states that in a modern Imax configuration it may require as many as 10-15 Drones but don't worry for the home theater aficionado the same job can be done with 3 Drones but again being in tune with it's home theater demographic and the added expense Dolby also alluded that they may release a system for home use that only requires 2 Drones and the center Drone will be a "Phantom" Drone they will call this "Dolby Drone Faux Logic II Natantis" and that would be a welcome addition to the line-up because to Quote a Dolby Rep that wishes to remain anonymous: "We here at Dolby realize that not all of our target market can afford 3 Drones so Faux Logic allows everyone to experience a butterfly shuddering its wings at precisely 1.375 Nanometers off absolute center and that's what home theater is all about".
WOW, all I can say is Damn even though I just Got Atmos...I gotta have this! Thanks Dolby!!
