That's awesome. I hope it all works out and we'll be hearing it in movies and such in the future. The second I read 3D sound I wanted to see what it was because I remember that Virtual Barber shop thing and thought it was incredible.

Yeah, it basically seems like he made the Virtual Barber Shop thing better so you can do it without headphones. I wish the video had more examples though. It was cool when they did the forest sounds with bug flying around.

Watch 4:20 to 5:00 for a demo of how awesome this stuff is (using laptop speakers).

Thats what I'm sayin. I don't really have any interest in grad school, but if I could find something that interesting to work on, I'd be all about it.

or you just get a good set of speakers that you can create a sound stage with and your problem is solved

this is called mixing and mastering...studio engineers do this all the time. nothing like listening to a great mix. i guess the genius of this lies where one can achieve this through minimal speakers like a laptop, because it is usually hard to hear the differences on such miniscule speakers.

For the ppl that said that it occurred on laptop speakers i'm not sure if that was totally true. All that was occurring on the laptop was that it had an increase in volume and a variance between the left and right speaker. From my understanding they needed something separate to create the pressure wave in the experiment that caused the actual 3d sound. Although I may be incorrect. Still this technology is limited because with two speakers you can never get 3d sound but at most 180 degree sound due to the limitations of sound waves.
