Japanese Lab Creates 'Da Vinci' Voices

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the speaking-with-the-dead dept.

Mikki writes "Using methods employed in criminal investigations, the Japan Acoustic Lab has analyzed the skeletal structures of Leonardo Da Vinci and Mona Lisa's faces to replicate how their voices would have sounded." While Da Vinci is cool, I can think of a slew of other deceased notables worth talking with as well.

    Yeah, um.. you won't actually get to talk with them though, you'll just get to figure out what their voices might have sounded like. Sorry if that ruins it for you.

    We now know what Da Vinci would have sounded like when he said:
    "Someone please shoot Dan Brown."
