On November 27, 2024, I attended a workshop hosted by Genelec, presented by Miguel Dominguez, Dolby's representative for Latin America. He covered a variety of topics, including their new headphones designed for users without an ATMOS ecosystem and for frequent travelers. He also discussed Dolby's Aural ID and their UNIO PRM Kit (Personal Reference Monitoring System). One topic that particularly caught my attention was HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function), a concept I was previously unaware of, which sparked my curiosity.

On November 11, 2024, I was invited to visit Dolby's LATAM office and tour its facilities. During my visit, I learned about Dolby's history and how it became one of the largest audio companies in the world. I also explored Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, discovering how these ecosystems work together and separately to deliver powerful and immersive stories through audiovisual experiences.

On November 5, 2024, I visited a public school here in Brazil to teach teenagers aged 15 to 16 about the significance of audio narratives in both linear and non-linear media. We covered various topics, including how sound travels through different media and how our entire body interprets these signals. We also discussed the importance of sound design and how audio can influence storytelling. Additionally, I introduced them to digital audio workstations (DAWs) and demonstrated how they can record audio using their smartphones. I explained why this makes them sound designers, especially when manipulating audio with apps like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
