FEATURE: Entrepreneur aims to reshape movie audio
By Lee Hsin-Yin / CNA
Movie theaters offer immersive cinema experiences that online streaming services cannot match, but that edge might be eroding due to an audio technology developed by a Taiwanese entrepreneur.
Iris Wu (吳采頤), the founder of Los Angeles-based sound company Ambidio, said that the technology can create a multi-dimensional sound field with added depth for videos played on any mobile phone, laptop computer, or TV with stereo speakers without the need for expensive equipment.
“It’s like going from a black-and-white canvas to a colored one in terms of sound experience,” the 33-year-old said.
