immersive sound
All-around sonic experience
Immersive sound is audio engineered to surround the listener, creating a three-dimensional experience rather than sound coming from fixed speakers.
Technologies like Dolby Atmos place sounds in specific locations—above, below, behind—so a helicopter seems to pass overhead or rain falls all around.
The term applies to home theaters, headphones, and gaming: The immersive sound made me feel like I was actually in the jungle.
