Holophonic Sound (Head Design)

After some Searching in the SketchUp Warehouse, I found this model of a shaved head. It's exactly what I was looking for: accurate, but very low poly and not overdone. I decided to take a lateral slice every inch, and disaster struck.

The slicer plugin I use has some problems, especially when it's working with complex or imported models (I think this was originally put together in Collada), it tends to "miss" slices. It's free, and it usually works like a charm, so I can't really complain, but it still hung me up for a while.

Holophonic Sound (Overview)

Given that I'm about done with my 3D scanner (I promise I'll put an overview up soon), I've been looking around for a new project. I recently happened across this mp3 (Headphones are needed for the full effect)

It's not the first time I've heard it, but it's still impressive. On a whim, I decided I'd try my hand at my own holophonic recording setup (might make long distance Skype calls more pleasant if the audio is good enough), and I started to do some research. Cetera doesn't seem to have commercialized their technique, and I couldn't find much in the way of software to simulate the effect, so it comes down to the physical setup (which also doesn't seem to be commercialized), and homebrew code tinkering.

Equations Work!

With some help from this post, my blog now supports awesome looking equations (no more blurry bitmaps!). As such, I no longer hesitate to note that E=m c^2 , e^{\pi i}+1=0, and of course that \frac{d}{dx}\int_C^x f(t) dt = f(x) .
Cheers!

Note: Equations seem to look best in Firefox. They don't work at all in IE (no surprises there), and they don't quite work in Chrome. I'll keep looking into this. The script also seems to be picking up weird elements of the page and replacing them. I need to stop that.

Edit: The old equations code was inconsistent and had a habit of changing stuff not inside it's tags. With this new back end, they should work everywhere.
