Hmm, when a guy approached me the other day boasting about 8D music I laughed so hard, it sounded so much like snake oil. I did some cursory research though but did not find anything. Now that there's this Queen demo, I recognise the kind of rendering effect this is achieving, and such schemes making the sound more realistically spatial with headphones has been existing for years (decades), such as Dolby Headphones[0] or binaural audio[1] either beforehand or via post-processing (e.g Bauer stereophonic to binaural[2] a.k.a BS2B).
