MP3 creator returns with 3D sound...

Brandenberg's team aims to create the audio version of that pond surface being pelted by a shower of pebbles.

To do this, they use an array of small speakers, sometimes as many as 300 or 400. A complicated algorithm works out exactly what the sound waves all through a room would be if, say, the horse were galloping through the center aisle.

I'm going to safely predict that this will not be as big as mp3s.

The best existing surround sound speakers can approximate this only for a small "sweet spot," perhaps a few feet wide, while the Iosono system would create the same realistic illusion for everyone in the room.

yeah that's because you're using 300-400 speakers as opposed to 5-10.

I like how he says right now its for people who can afford systems as expensive as other people's homes.
