Episode 126 (SXSW 2026 Panel - Audible Dimensions)

In this episode of the Immersive Audio Podcast, we travel to Austin, Texas, for the 2026 edition of the SXSW festival to present the panel - Audible Dimensions: Expanding Story Through Spatial Audio. This panel explores the latest innovation in immersive sound technology and practical application from three different perspectives: software and hardware capabilities of hosting platforms, the spatial audio formats, and content production workflows that bring these experiences to life. In this session, Dolby also shares how they’ve evolved Dolby Atmos to support new types of extended reality experiences with the new Dolby Atmos Immersive Media Production Suite.

As storytelling expands into extended reality media, such as immersive films, VR, MR, AI glasses and location-based installations, spatial audio is emerging as one of the key narrative forces. With today’s advanced head-mounted display technology, audiences expect not just 3D visuals but equally rich immersive sound that conveys presence, space and movement. This episode recording is supported by our friends at Nomono.
