Hunt’s innovative project, “The Dolby Atmos/Immersive Audio,” involves creating a multi-channel audio system that can deliver immersive and realistic sound experiences. Students will learn about the principles of spatial audio, speaker placement and audio mixing techniques that are used in Dolby Atmos systems. They will also gain experience working with audio hardware and software to create and edit audio content and have the opportunity to design and build a physical speaker system, configuring audio software and creating audio content that showcases the capabilities of Dolby Atmos technology. Ultimately, the project is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in audio engineering and prepare them for careers in audio production, film or music. According to Hunt, students will also have the opportunity to earn an industry certification.
