[LAD] New Post or what ...

I don't know about this particular demo, but not along ago I attended a 
Iosono [1] demo at Disney and it was
pretty amazing. Especially one that recreated the space of a jazz pub 
and you could literally walk in between
the band and get in between random conversations. Pretty convincing I 
must say. Although for other effects there
is a clear problem as soon as you walk out of the sweet spot.

If they are talking about projecting "inside" I am assuming that they 
are using wavefield synthesis technique [2] in which
case no, you can't get that with 7.1. You need a very close separation 
between each source to create a planar wave.
