Calaway Park Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 http://media.putfile.com/Virtual-Barbershop Virtual barber shop, NOTHING jumps out, this is crazy though, it makes you feel like you are actually there, and you can hear exactly where the person is talking, and their distance and such, it is insane, I caught myself looking around to see if they were actually there! You have to use headphones though, otherwise it doesn't work. It's not even a video, just an audio file, so, you have my word, no screams or anything at all, trust me. My bad, can this be moved to the Random thread?
Calaway Park Posted April 18, 2007 Author Posted April 18, 2007 ^Doesn't work... Yes it does! Do you have a Mac? It uses Windows Media Player for me, I'm not sure what it will for you. I just clicked the link, it works fine.
IceDragon Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 oh my god... the plastic bag over the head is fantastic! I swear to god there is someone actually here... this is really really strange... Ice 'I HATE THE ELECTRIC CLIPPERS!' Dragon
man Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 AAAAAAAAAAH THAT SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA ME!!!!!!!!!!!! I jumped at the begining and pulled it off..... lets see if I can get through it
Angry_Gumball Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 The dude in the background talking got me. I almost thought someone was actually talking to someone in the house somewhere...and the buzzer...those are weird to my ears in real life and so was the one on the audio file.
Calvin Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Binaural stuff is extremely cool. If you like this, check out the "3-D Sound" version of Stephen King's The Mist, with headphones. It's insane, especially the part with the earthquake. The only issue I have with that one is that the kid's voice is extremely irritating and they have a tendancy to blatantly describe what's going on. However, the sucking sounds are fantastic.
onewheeled999 Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Holy freaking crap. That is so amazing... That part where he just suddenly whispers in your ear at the end scared the heck out of me. If anybody hasn't seen this yet.... Watch it! It's great!
Luxo Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Eek, that brought a chill up my spine. The whisper at the end literally made me jump, and I knocked over the speakers with which my headphones were connected.
waterviper Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 If anybody hasn't seen this yet.... Watch it! It's great! Uh..you dont watch it, you hear it! So go listen!! I thought it was pretty neat. The bag and the wisper was the best. What was the word he wispered?
RCTfan Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 That was pretty awesome. I'm not sure what word he whispered at the end either. The electric razor was so cool! This is just like Sounds Dangerous with Drew Carey at MGM Studios. The same technique is used.
odene497 Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I was seriously laughing my A$$ off and squarming in my chair at the same time. It's SOOOOO creepy I kept looking everywhere. The finger snapping was so realistic, and when he whispered because it was louder I could feel the vibration in my headphone, and it felt just like someones breath.
ShoubraStreet74 Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 OMG. Imagine, if horror games like F.E.A.R. were made with this kind of 3d sound O_O. I don't think anyone would play. It's scary as hell as it is.
Gnome Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 i imagine it was inspired by the Moments with Mr. Lincoln that they had at Disneyland. THey had a scene where they had some guy cut your hair and he would wisper in your ear and everything and it sounded like it was there. It sounded better then this, imo.
Ryan King Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Its like Disneylands Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln... Pretty cool stuff! I wish there were others -Ryan
mummyjohn Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Sounded to me like it could just be Dolby Headphone or something at the beginning, but the two mic thing makes a lot of sense. Still pretty sweet technology though.
texashorns82492 Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Edit - I read the first post, but I am paranoid about freaking out, is there anything that will scare me sh...ermmm, poopless?
Calaway Park Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 Edit - I read the first post, but I am paranoid about freaking out, is there anything that will scare me sh...ermmm, poopless? No. People are just getting weirded out because of how incredibly realistic it sounds, it's just like you're in a barbershop...
texashorns82492 Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 What about the whisper thats scaring everybody?
Luxo Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Edit - I read the first post, but I am paranoid about freaking out, is there anything that will scare me sh...ermmm, poopless? Nah, unless you have some phobia of Italian barbers. Nothing jumps out or scares you, it's just two guys explaining the technology and demonstrating its potential using the sounds of clippers, buzzers, etc. It's realistic enough to make one mildly squirm, but it definately won't scare you "poopless".
Calaway Park Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 What about the whisper thats scaring everybody? He just says the name of an algorithm or something, it's not "scary.."
