Roger Dressler (RWD Consulting) and Peter Aylett (HTE) join us for a deep dive into the challenges of keeping the immersive audio experience as consistent as possible for every seat in a dedicated home theater, including some pretty revolutionary ideas from the guests.

Rich Green (Rich Green Design) gives us the latest on XR – "extended reality." How does it encompass VR, AR, and MR? What are the newest advances? What's happening in the realms of brain-computer interfaces, haptics, and (especially) audio? And most importantly, how will it impact your business?

Mike Heiss is back to tell us what he's learned about all the new content and channels available to consumers – and the latest devices your clients will be asking about to deliver all that entertainment.
