This needs the futurama Holophoner music dubbed in.

holophonic sound has been in use for at least a decade if not longer. I've made some holophonic recordings for my films and CDs, but it's been a challenge finding venues with the 7.1 systems in which is most effective.

it's absolutely not simply stereo. It's called holophonic sound. And it requieres 2 separate microphones to capture the sound, at approximately the same distance from one another as the ears are on a head.
Try this one as well. It has the virtual haircut which is awesome. If you close your eyes, it's like you're almost there... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IXm6SuUigI
also, I wish they could use this on videogames. it would make for a much better experience


2-speaker 3D sound in video games is far beyond this technique. This technique is great for video, but I don't see how it applies to video games really.

Video games do tricks with 2 speakers like adjusting the tone of invdividual sounds in the environment based on their orientation and elevation relative to your ears (AKA the mic) within the game scene. A good 2D sound engine is basically creating a holophonic sound mix in real time.

You're welcome.

The music reminds me of some of Christopher Tyng's melodies from Futurama, like Fry on the holophoner. Can't wait for that show to come back.
