Jaunt Launches Dolby Atmos VR Portal

Dolby and Jaunt have partnered to launch a dedicated virtual reality portal. The Dolby Atmos portal is available via the Jaunt VR app for iOS, Android, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive, and launch titles include the Paul McCartney-centred Pure McCartney VR series, Jack White: Ball & Biscuit, Zombie Purge, Time Bubble, and Visions of California. The Pure McCartney VR series includes the latest episode, Mull of Kintyre.

“Over the past twelve months, we’ve been working closely with Dolby and leading filmmakers, musicians and brands to create a library of marquee titles leveraging the Dolby Atmos technology. We truly believe high quality immersive audio in VR is more than half the experience. We’re very excited to offer Dolby Atmos support in the Jaunt VR App for consumers’ enjoyment,” Cliff Plumer, President of Jaunt Studios, said. “Experiences like ‘Mull of Kintyre’ in Dolby Atmos truly make you feel like you’re standing there inside of the studio with Paul as his stories come to life all around you.”

“Jaunt titles such as ‘Mull of Kintyre’ make excellent use of Dolby Atmos,” John Couling, Senior Vice President, E-Media Business Group, Dolby Laboratories, added. “Viewers will have the rare opportunity to experience Paul McCartney’s journey with three-dimensional immersive audio and unprecedented realism. We’re looking forward to seeing more content creators take advantage of Dolby Atmos on the Jaunt platform, bringing high-quality, fully immersive audio visual VR experiences to consumers.”
