The big day is finally here! Apple has revealed their new goods, starting with the iPhone 5.  The most striking difference in design between the iPhone 5 and previous iterations is that it finally has a 16:9 aspect ratio.  Resolution isn't HD, but at 1136 x 640 it's not too terribly far off.  Considering the size of the phone, that might not matter too terribly much.

The folks at Dolby have been busy creating new audio technologies, but also in making sure that we get to hear them. Atmos is the latest of these and it's designed to create a more immersive experience in theaters, giving you a more immersive 3D sound experience. You'll be able to catch Atmos in select theaters with the release of 'Taken 2' and 'Chasing Mavericks.' Dolby will release a full list of theaters as we come closer to the films' release dates.

The wait is almost over for those that are dying to see rest of the prequel trilogy in 3D.  ‘Attack of the Clones’ and ‘Revenge of the Sith’ will be released September 20th and October 11th of 2013.  This is particularly cool because it shows an acceleration of the 3D releases, which were originally supposed to be one a year.

Absolute 3D sound processing is a technology that’s designed to create a 3D sound stage using stereo sources, and it’s the tech that’s at the foundation of the new Onkyo iLunar music system.  The goal is to make you feel like you’re center stage while listening to music – completely surrounding and immersing you in the songs.

The folks at Seymor-Screen Excellence have created a new curved screen for those that want a completely immersive experience.  It's not just the extra effect that the curve provides though - the new Absolute screen is designed to be acoustically transparent, so your speakers can sit behind it and even point in towards the viewer.
