You don't have to be an audio person to enjoy this, so put on some headphones and listen to this :).

It ain't just any binaural recording though... most of those dummy head mics are used to try and capture the sound as a person hears it from a particular position in the room. They all still record in stereo though... no front to back just left to right.
Holophonic sound uses a binaural recording that has an inaudible digital reference signal superimposed over the top. The interference that this causes is recorded aurally then added to the original binaural recording to create the 3d effect. Sounds like it is just a method of accurately manipulating the phase of two signals...
apparently hearing impaired people can sense the presence of something when listening to it which suggesting the effect is more than just auditory...
Intriguing stuff
COOL
Wow, I never actually heard the dummy head mic setup. Very Interesting.
One thing I can say is that no software or hardware can reproduce that. not now anyway. I've tried heaps with phase shifting methods but got nowhere close to that.
It was just behind for me.
It was just behind for me. I liked it when it went up and down more than side to side.
We have a surrond sound mic at uni that I would really like to use at some point.
Thats a dummy head with mics in the ears, or a 'binaural' recording. Steal a mannequin from a store and tear the head off and you should be able to reproduce it :)
Was it just me or was the sound behind all of the time?
