| This teenager has his eyes removed when he was two, now at the age of 17 I believe, he mastered the art of "Echolocation", the same meaning in which Dolphins use.
This is something you have to see to believe. |

| That seems all fine and dandy except the videogames part. That sounds like BS to me... Unless he's playing in stereo, there's no way he's going to be able to discern direction while playing, not to mention the HUD and other elements required to play... | |||

Originally posted by FX Well it isnt like right off the bat he is able to pinpoint what he is able to do and what he cant do. Its all a matter of practice, like learning your room in total darkness. The Boy was tought how to play, and he learned to adapt to it, reguardless of his sight. Now I am sure you would be singing a different tune if he was able to kick your butt in a game he has been playing totally blind. Now I am sure he practiced what to do in terms of selection (because of course Echolocation can not help him there), but the fact that he has played it before leads to him using trial and error to have him able to play the game you are challenging him with. You know those Touhou games? With enough practice, you can play it totally blind. That is the same scenario with this teen. Now for games like Super Mario for the NES, I can see where that can be challanging. Only true way to play it blind, is with Trial and error. But even that takes serious memorization skills. Thanks to technology like Dolby Digital, this teen isnt letting his handicap get to him. Shows how much technology is improved that what some people take for granted.
