Screenshot: YouTube RAY DOLBY, čovjek koji je izumio sustav smanjenja buke na audio snimkama i surround zvuku, umro u četvrtak u San Franciscu u 80. godini. Posljednjih godina Dolby je patio od Alzheimerove bolesti i akutne leukemije. Tvrtku Dolby Laboratories osnovao je 1965., a njegov prvi rad vezan za zvuk započeo je filmom Stanleya Kubricka "Paklena naranča". Dolby je kasnije surađivao i na "Bliskim susretima treće vrste" Stevena Spielberga i "Ratovima zvijezda" Georgea Lucasa, a valja dodati i kako je za svoj rad osvojio dva Oscara, Emmy i više Grammyja. Doktorirao je na britanskom sveučilištu Cambridge. U Londonu je 1956. osnovao tvrtku Dolby Laboratories, koja je od početka postala najpoznatija po radu na smanjenju buke na audio snimkama i surround zvuku, a zaslužan je za čak 50 patenata koje je registrirao za svog života. Iako je u mirovini bio nekoliko godina, njegova je tvrtka nastavila s inovacijama, a posljednji u nizu je novi sustav Dolby Atmos, korišten u filmu "Hobit: Neočekivano putovanje".
