3 dimensional audio

The BBC are playing with 3D audio
I like the sound of this 3-dimensional audio technology created by the BBC.

We've seen huge advances in the presentation of video pictures and we have long had clear sound but this technology could take the audio experience to a whole new level.

If they get this one right and can get the market to take it up we could see a new level of realistic sound coming through our television and radio broadcasts.

It's all about fooling our brains by transmitting the sound using certain psycho-acoustic tricks.  The good news is that the effect could be used with existing equipment.
