I'm sure you all at least once listened to the Virtual Barber shop audio clip. If not, you should immediately. As a child it fascinated me. It is a binaural audio clip originally created in 1996. It gave me chills when the barber started cutting hair. Not even for a moment I felt it's not real. But how does it work? It is due to binaural hearing. It helps our brain to detect the direction of a sound. When making binaural recordings a two track digital recording device is attached to two microphones that are mounted on a dummy head equivalent to a human head. The recordings are so realistic that some people even claimed they smell sulfur if someone strikes a match in an audio clip. If you haven't listened to a binaural audio clip now is the time to enjoy. And if you are a fan of these clips let me know the best one you listened to so far.
