Splash, Splatter, Sploosh, and Bloop!

Posted by samzenpus on from the wouold-you-like-some-ottamottapia-with-that dept.

Acoustic Bubble writes "Researchers at Cornell University have developed the first algorithm for synthesizing familiar bubble-based fluid sounds automatically from 3D fluid simulations, e.g, for future virtual environments. The research (entitled 'Harmonic Fluids') will appear at ACM SIGGRAPH 2009 in New Orleans in August 2009. Check out some videos of falling, pouring, splashing and babbling water simulations (computed on a Linux cluster)."

    Was I the only one who immediately thought of a cumshot upon reading the title?

      Aside from the oooohs and aaaahs, good sex sounds like "gluck, gluck, gluck...", like repeatedly slapping a filled-up douchebag against the sidewalk.

      "gluck, gluck, gluck" is the sound you hear when you repeatedly slap a filled-up douchebag against the sidewalk? Seriously?

      How about, "Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

    Finally bukakke (and less ... pleasant) hentai anime with realistic sound. Yay.

    What? What did YOU think this is for?

      Clearly this is to simulate realistic enema sounds and dripped blood for hentai anime. Bukakke is for weirdos.

    In other news from the overpriced useless ressearch dept... the research has found an unexpected application... generating fart sounds from facial expressions... thus giving speech to farts. a student called in for volunteer testing of the system said, "amazing! it actually sounds like me... I was always embarassed because my farts didnt make any sound... now I know wether it is a pzzzt or a plrrrrt or a puffff.... Thank you"

    Privacy right groups caution against wide use of the system, "We got to preserve the right to privacy while farting... imagine if these devices were everywhere? our privacy would be gone like the wind"
