Forget optical illusions! Let's try auditory illusions! :D
 
Just a moment ago, I popped on headphones and listened to "A Virtual Haircut." I got chills listening to the illusion of someone walking about, clipping my hair, and having a conversation with me.

After learning how senses like sight and hearing works, I find it mind blowing to see how people find ways to trick your brain.

Want to give it a try? :3

Auditory Illusions: Holophonic Sound

Tell me what you think! And remember - it works if you put on headphones - not playing it on your speakers!

That was freaky.
No kidding. XD.

I was afraid. ; __;
I want my virtual hair back. D:<

Wynna 02-03-2008 03:28 AM

That is so weird. But really cool though, I wonder how they do it.

It was really creepy though when the guy whispered in my ear. *shudders*

Sadistix_Love 02-03-2008 03:39 AM

Oh my gosh, that's amazing! I was trying to wave away the imaginary razor the whole time. xDD; //tries the next two//

And the matchbox makes me all tickle! Same with the lady. Dx

The virtual haircut was amazing. I could seriously feel someone putting a bag over my head. It was freaky. o_o;;

The matchbox one annoyed me, though. I seriously tried more than once to snatch the virtual matchbox out of the virtual person's hands and beat him/her over the head with it. XD Seriously, who dances around someone while shaking a matchbox!? >.<;

Admonish Misconstruction 02-03-2008 03:42 AM

Goodness.. That was.. Interesting xD.

At first my mind believed it, I was.. Kinda surprised, a little.. Don't know, concerned I guess. Then my mind just blocked out the entire thing, it was weird. Even with my eyes closed.

Eserel 02-03-2008 03:52 AM

o-o
Oh my god.
That is absolutely amazing!
How does they do it?!

Chexala 02-03-2008 03:56 AM

Whoa, that was really neat. I got startled a lot and kept cringing away form things when they "came close" to my ears.

So cool!
I love our brains, they do such cool things with incoming information.

Caramel-Filled Messiah 02-03-2008 04:01 AM

Holy crap, that's awesome.


My favorite was the matchbox one. I kept thinking that I should be seeing that stupid thing. It was like a ghost was shaking an invisible matchbox at me x___x

Edit: Silly me, forums use BBcode, not HTML.

MY HAIRZ!

that was friggin sweet. (:

mystic kiwi 02-03-2008 04:12 AM

That’s cool. I love things like that. It’s interesting how sound can actually make us feel like we should be actually feeling the sound.

Scribble Me Orange 02-03-2008 04:17 AM

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THE BAG IS ON MY HEAD! - tears off headphones -

I almost did that. x_x

M i n u x e 02-03-2008 04:24 AM

OMG!! When the door opened and closed at the beginning I SWORE it was the door in my room. I actually looked around my room to see if anyone did anything xD
Dammit the sounds are actually scary because when I close my eyes I swear that they are actually doing it to me!! Also I got scared when he whispered in my ear near the end.
I must have looked so stupid because I was really cringing while I listened to this demonstration.

Rainbows 02-03-2008 04:24 AM


Oh my god..

Oh my god.
I started shaking when they put the bag on my head..

I've got the shakes, now!

But..

My speakers must be backwards or something.
When they said left, it was on my right, and when they said right it was left.

><
I think it ruined the experience for me.


Edit:
Oh!
I forgot the headphones part.

:oops:
>>;

Well, I'll go get them.

cerise_reves 02-03-2008 10:05 AM

Oh my god, that was crazy xD I started waving off the shears and razor, and I was following his voice with my head! The plastic bag bit WAS rather creepy...

And then when he came up and whispered, I fully jerked my head away xD

Sagitar 02-03-2008 10:26 AM

ah I've listened that.. xP it was okay I guess..

kitkat 02-03-2008 06:15 PM

next generation audio :3

whoever made this is very good!

Zombie Secks 02-03-2008 06:36 PM

I'd love to hear it, but i can't -.- Some arsehat unplugged the freaking speakers and i can't plug them back in because i'm not the size of a small child.

Gamersdreams 02-03-2008 06:41 PM

Dude! That's sooo cool!
And freaky at the same time!

V!rtual Insanity 02-03-2008 07:27 PM

Lol, the virtual haircut scared me. I kept thinking he was going to try to kill me. And when he put the bag over my head I was like OMG. I couldn't even keep my eyes closed the whole time. xD

The woman talking one scared me a little too... How sad.

Uzura 02-03-2008 10:01 PM

Whoa...
Did he have to whisper at the end? That sent chills through my body for a moment. That and the plastic bag. I kept shaking my head like I was gonna knock it off or something xD

That was just too cool though.

M i n u x e 02-03-2008 10:46 PM

@Uzura: I also wished that he hadn't whispered at the end because that really freaked me out!!

@Virtual: I also couldn't keep my eyes closed the whole time, even though I really wanted to. It started to feel too real when I had my eyes closed and so I had to open them to make sure that I was still in my room xD

I think I will listen to the other ones now, I hope they aren't as freaky.

Amiiu 02-03-2008 10:47 PM

o______o

That was so weird
I got tickly feelings with the matchbox one, and when the razor came close to my ear.
That was cool yet freaky at the same time...

Stephie 02-03-2008 10:58 PM

That's just incredible. O_O That gave me serious shivers, especially the razor part.

Lolly 02-03-2008 11:11 PM

Extraordinary.
I really enjoyed the virtual haircut, though I must admit I was quite frightened he was going to try to cut my ear off with that razor.
And the women's voice amused me, if it had been a man I probably would've been a bit creeped out. Sounded a bit pedoish if you ask me.
