Just like they distribute 3D glasses before we enter the movie
screens, how about picking up an audio device based on our
language preference. While everyone watches the same video
output on big screen, they will be individually listening to the
audio in the language of their choice (voice dubbing,
obviously)
pros:
boring movie? remove headset, take a nap
cons:
digital surround sound effects cannot be experienced
Aureal A3D demos

Wrong. Only the voice tracks need to be split out; the nonverbal elements are the same for everyone. So the ultra-bass, which is sensed rather than heard, will still come through OK. |

Aureal Semiconducter, A3D, back before they were bought by
Creative Labs, mastered the art of sound source location using
only stereo headphones. I had one of their cards back in the
early 2000's. Fooling the brain as to a sound source is not that
hard apparently with the right transfer functions. |

The device should also have a display which can show the user's choice of subtitles - though obviously this won't be as usable as having the subtitles shown on the main screen. |

The left brain, however, is not so easily fooled. |

This would be good, insofar as you could dub, say, Titanic as either a comedy or a drama, with patrons choosing their own soundtrack. |

"Titanic: The Hanna-Barbera Cut" ? |

Yes, that woud work- a suitably dramatic BONGGGG followed by the smashing of glass and a loose hubcap going Roingroingroingroing when they hit the iceberg.... |
