Binaural recording is a method of recording sound that uses two microphones to create a 3-D stereo sound sensation of actually being in the room with the performers or instruments. This effect is often created using a technique known as “Dummy head recording”, wherein a mannequin head is outfitted with a microphone in each ear.
QSound Labs is an audio technology company based in Calgary, Canada. Back in 1996, they created a binaural audio demo entitled Virtual Barber Shop for a client.
On January 1, 2011, awesomaticeric shared the Virtual Barber Shop, and today it has over 150,000 notes.
