The three dimensional, immersive sound technology will debut at Golden Village Suntec City with the premiere of Jack Neo’s latest Chinese New Year comedy/ drama, “Long, Long Time Ago” on Thursday, 4 February.

Auro Technologies is a spin-off of the privately owned Galaxy Studios Group, renowned worldwide for its state-of-the-art leadership in audio innovation for music and sound for film.
Auro 11.1 by Barco. Auro 11.1 brings sound from all around and above to create a more impactful experience.
“Long, Long Time Ago” was natively mixed in the new immersive technology at Galaxy Studios Belgium.
We had the chance to experience the Auro 11.1 setup at the Golden Village cinema at Suntec City. It’s the first and only cinema in Singapore to have installed the system.
Auro 11.1 is touted as the most realistic 3D sound experience currently available in the market.
Unlike other technologies where speakers are placed only on a horizontal plane and directly above, the Auro 11.1 by Barco’s system uses a sound reproduction speaker layout based on three axes (x=width, y=depth, z=height) and three vertical layers (surround, height, top).

Home-grown company RYDE officially launches the app in Singapore and prepares to launch in Hong Kong next.
The home-grown company will be competing against the likes of UberPool and GrabHitch which offer similar carpooling apps for riders to split the cost of their paid journeys with fellow passengers.

Screenshots from the free app that can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
RYDE is an iOS and Android app that lets paying subscribing members carpool.
A driver offers rides based on the journey he/she is planning to make while a rider posts the journey he/she needs.
“Our approach has been to solve the two key challenges of carpooling methodically – poor information exchange and a lack of mutual trust. We are the number one carpooling app in Singapore and our focus is on the social aspects of carpooling,” says Terence Zou, Founder and CEO of RYDE Technologies.
The app matches the two of them, based on best match, offering each a list of close matches in terms of their planned timings and routes, as well as personal preferences each can set – such as gender, age, and other profile information.
Drivers pay a subscription fee of S$30 a year to RYDE and can offer an unlimited number of rides while riders pay S$15 subscription a year to receive an unlimited number of rides.
Riders can also choose not to subscribe but they will have to pay 1 credit (currently set by RYDE as S$1) for each ride.
The credits can be purchased within the RYDE app that runs on iOS and Android devices.
The app also recommends an amount of money for the rider to pay the driver, based on the journey.
