Google is working on a royalty-free alternative to Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision
FirstpostKnown internally as Project Caviar, Google is planning to push for an open and royalty-free HDR video and 3D audio alternatives to Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Google is apparently working on alternative audio and video formats that could replace Dolby Atmos and Vision if they had their way. According to a report by Protocol, Google is looking to introduce two new media formats to offer HDR video and 3D audio under a new consumer-recognizable brand without the licensing fees hardware manufacturers currently have to pay Dolby. What Google comes up with “would be governed by an industry forum and made available for free to hardware manufacturers and service providers.” One way the company could spur hardware adoption is by having YouTube, which does not support Dolby Atmos or Vision, support it.
