It may be worth mentioning the whole concept of Binaural recording somewhere in this article. You can get some fairly small and inexpensive omnidirectional mics, clip them to your baseball hat near your ears (pointing straight out... though I don't know if that really matters) and make a three dimensional recording. Most likely this is what "Hugo" is, Blue Max is another microphone built around a human head.
Humans perceive three dimensions with only two ears. The multiple speakers etc are just a way to sell more speakers. It would be nice if there were a piece of software that placed audio in space based on binaural data.
