I myself try to create at least somewhat spatial audio experiences in my audio dramas but I am currently just working with simple programs like audacity. So I can get varying distances of left and right and approach and move away via volume, fade out and echo, where in Atmos you can pretty much place a "speaker" in a sphere and have it seem to come from that direction/ distance.
I love audio drama and "heightened audio experiences" such as Stephen Fry's Ghost Stories collection.
This gives a nice intro to the world of Spatial audio and some of its possibilities.
I hope to one day work with audible and create truly 3D sensory experiences. Imagine what could be done with this tech, by a Dean Koontz or Stephen King when writing especially for audio...
I am really hoping the new Harry Potters are done this way in audio... in Atmos!!
A nice over view
