My guess is what they've built is a filter that spatialises stereo by
using a comb filter or HRT transforms then does some reverb and other
filtering to make it sound impressive. It ends up being very tiring to
listen to and a novelty to be played back through crappo PC speakers. I
have used similar systems before on mobile phones and for VR that claim
to enhance movies, music and games, but after the initial impression of
a wider sound stage, you realise that it's the same music but sounding
like it's in a big bucket.

I do like the graph though. I'd love to see how it gets presented at
shows or in a sales pitch. "Listeners reported a 50% increase in
'experience' compared to ordinary stereo, and 10% recorded a full Jimi
Hendrix". 

I may do my own for my music library, perhaps using a scale from mildly
entertained, through moderately enchanted to extremely captivated. Units
of percentage satisfaction should suffice.
