Inspirations galore

There are inspirations and then there are inspirations

last post i talked about a professor who inspired me with a life well lived, but today this kid seems to be living a life impossible to live.

This was sent to me by one of my dearest friends, who happens to be an ophthalmologist (eye specialist). Its about a kid who went blind, has no eyes at all.... and can play video games and skate on the roads

He has, on his own, developed echolocation. Thats what dolphins and bats use to make out their surroundings.

Watch and be amazed

how do you develop echolocations for video games?? bouncing sound waves off a tv set/gaming screen will only tell you where the tv set is, not what is happening inside it.

i am confused

in the video ben is shown playing a fight game and apparently he can recognize different sounds made by different characters as they score a hit..... it was hazy and fast, and no-one suggested echolocation for that as far as I could make out
