Virtual Barber Shop
This is something, I found a while ago, which I thought was really good. A few tips before you listen to it.
-Listen to it usiing headphones (essential)
-Make sure the room is quiet
-Make sure the volume isn’t too low
-Close your eyes as you listen to it (this really helps)
I hope you like it.

Next time you invite me to simulate reality, please make it something a little more exciting than a haircut:).
You know the feeling you get when someone stands too close to you from behind. You shudder.I’m shuddering.

I thought so too. Just a little point, it isn’t as effective after you have listened to it several times.

It was the only thing I could find. I still find it fascinating considering the sound is only coming from two sources, but still gives a sense of more.

That tends to make a lot of people startle.

Whoa, I startled when he whispered.
Amazing.
When I first listened to this, I never expected it and it sent a shiver through me.

Yes, was unexpected. Good post Ely, like it.
When he stuck the bag over my head I thought it was going to turn weird. Had me worried for a second.

Dude, this is pretty sweet. I didn’t have headphones and it was really good.
It’s even better if you use headphones.

That bit is kinda freaky, but I think the razor is freakier.

I think it would be cooler if they had something other than a barbers, like a horror scene or something like that.

A friend told me about this but i’m really not that into searching for random stuff on youtube. I can’t beleive how realistic it sounds.!!!

I agree, it does sound very realistic. I don’t usually search for YouTube videos either, but I decided to search for it because I first heard it on my Uncle’s phone and thought it was cool.

It’s best if you wait until you have a set of headphones and no it’s not really funny; just rather interesting.
Omg I kept swiping the man away, my Mum though I was going mad when she came up the stairs to see me with head phones in laughing and slapping imaginary people. Awesome =)

I’m glad you liked it. When you listen to it for the first time it is really bizarre. However, it doesn’t feel the same once you have listened it about 8 times. :D

I think I’m going to have to do this to my friends when we next have a drink some time, I’m thinking the results may be hilarious, I promise I’ll take their headphones out when they get scared!
just showed my friend and she liked it.
she looked very uncomfortable at times, especially with the sounds of the razar!
hahaha lol

It’s always fun watching someone else listen to it for the first time. lol
yes she even got disturbed! haha lol
You wouldnt immagin how long it took me to actually listen to this! I did a few mins ago and am listening to it right now too. LOL! Its so FREEKIN AWSOME! My brother listened to it too and said it was so cool, and then we got my mom out here and she listened too! lol! Dan this rocks! Do you think there are anything else like this? That would be cool!
:D!!
OMG I only just saw this, its brilliant! I listened to it with my eyes closed and my daughter next to me and when it had finished she was in hysterics because I kept jumping. I had to open my eyes when they did the bag bit and jumped a mile when they clicked and whispered. Are there any more like this?
I’m glad you liked it. The bag thing shocked me as well and so did the electric razor bit. I’ve no idea if there are any more like this. I first heard it on my uncle’s phone and then decided to search for it on YouTube. I’ve tried searching for some, but I couldn’t find any.
I did see another version of this that someone had uploaded. However, they had recorded in mono, which totally ruined the effect. LMAO!

I hate those sort of videos. The ones that start off really quiet and then there is a sudden scream accompanied by some weird image. My brother’s friend showed me one once and it scared the crap out of me.
lol i got this on my phone.
i listened to it after watching sweeny todd, and when he put the bag over my head i thought he was going to kill me like sweeny todd lol

I found some at a site which sells microphones for making these types of recordings.
The best one I found was - http://www.soundprofessionals.com/MP3…
But its not “holophonic” it’s binaural, which means its not distributed and interpreted across your brain in the same way as the cetera algorythm.
I can’t find anything else as explicitly perceptual as the virtual barbershop…
I was so tense throughout that whole thing… I didn’t even have headphones, but jeez, I think I almost had a heart attack when he whispered. I can’t remember ever actually audibly gasping, but I did then. xD I am so forcing my friends to listen to this when they come over in a few weeks. It’ll be fun to watch them.
Oh, it’s a lot better when you’ve got headphones! The whispering part sent shivers up my spine the first time I listened to it.
It’s remarkable how it actually works when you take into account that there are ONLY two sound sources: the left and right speaker/headphone.
Yep… I think I’ll wait some weeks/months/long periods of time, until I’ve mostly forgotten it, and then listen with headphones and see how it is. :D
