Sorry I don't have any specifics on how it was done.
He's saying 'Holophonic' on the site which is distinctly different. The Holophonic head was developed by Hugo Zucharelli in the '80s and as I understood, was a multi transducer array inside what looked like the head of a bullet. It sounded amazing. The demo consisted of a virtual haircut, a box of matches shaken up and down your body, a gas model airplane flying overhead among some others. Very impressive, way beyond binaural with these sounds. Almost hyper-real.
Oddly, the recorded music on the demo didn't sound very good to me.
Bad management of the company led to it's demise. There has been no substitute I've heard that's even close.
