Yes guys with this technology using a speaker array going around the whole room the hollophonic promise of dolby surround finally gets delivered.

Not for the faint in heart it incorporates dozens of speakers and channels acting in phased array. The most psychogroovy surround sound experience in the galaxy -give me that and 2 trw's and surround sound NIRVANA.

Those are line arrays seating on their sides.

How many discrete channels are we talking about and where is the sound separated?

My guess would be a continual delay between speakers, each speaker driven independently with a low power amp channel. Certainly do-able with the amount of DSP available, but a practical installation in a home? Nah!

Scroll down the page on the Lenard Audio education link, look for surrounds.
