Nice graph and all, but reality shows that on stereo speakers their sound mix is thumping effects and subtitle requiring dialog.
Unless this is something they just wrapped up right now and going forward we'll have better mixes for common media playback devices. Most people use stereo thinny speakers on old laptopts, and subpar phones.
Maybe I'm stupid, but why is this tech needed now? Whenever I watch movies (new to me) if they're from before ~2005 I never need subtitles to understand, never mind genre or origin... and if they're more recent I frequently do. It's cool to have tools that highlight this for folks in industry, but how were they getting it right before that?
I think this is mostly down to the "realism" that is created in a lot of movies... not to mention the music, background noises, etc.
Older TV shows (and many movies) were done more as closed set stage shows... often more emphasis on understanding what is said was made than making sure the feel/drama was best expressed.
I find myself turning on captions a lot these days... it definitely detracts from the viewing experience, but not as much as having to crank the volume to crazy levels.
