Binaural Sound refers to a recording technique that uses two microphones to capture audio, mimicking the way human ears perceive sound. These microphones are typically placed at the positions of the left and right ears, replicating the natural spacing and orientation of human ears.
The essence of binaural sound lies in recreating the way sound reaches each ear at slightly different angles and times. This replication mirrors the way our ears perceive sound in real-life situations, resulting in a sense of spatial realism for the listener.
Binaural sound is often experienced through headphones, where each ear receives a slightly different audio signal, providing a three-dimensional audio experience. It's commonly used in virtual reality (VR) content and audio technology to create a heightened sense of immersion, making listeners feel as if they are truly present in the audio environment being recorded.
