Skit and Binaural
Some interesting videos for your amusement.
First, an amazing skit (by Voltz, Stripper Vash and other cosplayers that aren't mentioned at the original video description) that took place at the Anime Central 2006 and uses the fact that some video-game and Japanese anime/manga characters have features in common. It uses that fact in a very intelligent and humorous way. Some parts may be hard to hear, though.
If you don't know much about games and anime/manga you may want to check some information first to understand some punchlines.
About Trigun
Vash the Stampede
Millions Knives
About Devil May Cry
Dante
Vergil
Lady
About Final Fantasy VII
Vincent Valentine
Cloud Strife
Sephiroth
Some other references are for Alucard, Lupin III, Carmen San Diego and some others that I either don't know, didn't hear or haven't bothered to mention. I think that what someone would have to know are the looks of those characters and the relationships Vash-Knives and Dante-Vergil.
Or you can just watch it anyway...
The second video I've first heard of it through Daniel's blog. It's called Virtual Barber Shop. It uses binaural recording and mentions (don't sure if it was used or not) the Cetera algorithm to create an audio file where we can distinguish the directions of the sounds. A virtual sound field.
As I'm more involved with acoustics now, that really interests me. An algorithm capable to make the brain interpret sounds estimating their direction and distance... too bad that since the Cetera was developed by a company, it's not likely that we'll see the details easily.
Put your earphones first, and close your eyes while listening for better effect.
