What is Binaural sound?

Binaural recording is a method of recording sound that uses two microphones, arranged with the intent to create a 3-D stereo sound sensation for the listener of actually being in the room with the performers or instruments. This will give a greater sense of immersion and me and Ben also had an idea to do through the eyes of the protagonist for the above reason.
However me and Ben have slight doubt because when played through loudspeaker interferes with binaural reproduction, headphones are required for full immersion.
I have found a good example of binaural recording as a virtual haircut.

This is reasonably relevant as me and Ben has talked about recording a torture sequence? With the one character tied to a chair and the other character circling the tied up character and interrogating. Takes a similar form to the scene from Casino Royale where Daniel Craig is beaten to a pulp.
