Comment on Samsung, Google take on Dolby Atmos with new 'Eclipsa Audio'

Googles propensity to create and destroy tech at alarming rate aside, what is there to be gained in immersive audio? Atmos sounds borderline real in a good setup. What are the current limitations for high end HT audio that this is looking to improve upon?
Bear in mind Android was meant to be an open source endeavour. They’ll release the OSS version, then slowly close the up the market as it gets adoption, so that it really can’t be used without their approval.
Considering there’s this about media, there will be some sort of DRM involved. I guarantee it.
If you make it, they will come probably ignore it and continue to use non-free options.

I thought DTS:X was the (at least more) open version of Dolby Atmos.

DTS X is much better than atoms. No channel or group limits etc.
But Dolby has already won the race. Cinemas are all Dolby Atmos, movies are, sound stages etc etc. They won the marketing race so they won out in the end.

It may be. I really don’t know much other than Atmos sounds amazing.
