Samsung and Google are launching Eclipsa Audio, a new spatial audio format designed to compete with Dolby Atmos. Launching later this year on select YouTube videos, it will be supported on Samsung's 2025 TV and soundbar lineup. Eclipsa Audio offers a royalty-free, open-source alternative to Dolby Atmos, promising similar 3D audio capabilities without licensing fees. This move mirrors Samsung's previous competitive strategies in HDR technology, highlighting their ongoing push for open standards.
