Dolby Atmos is created by Dolby Laboratories that provides you a spatial sound experience. It enhances your existing normal sound by enabling height channels, mixing sounds to interpreted multi-dimensional objects. So you feel deeper surround sound with great experiences.
Dolby Atmos is a premium spatial sound feature, therefore it is not available for every sound device. Basically Dolby Laboratories partners to sound device developers, and provides license to use dolby atmos surround sound.
