There are a few blind people who have "echo location" abilities by using vocal clicks, and actually see pictures in their head. The human brain is such an amazing organ.

My takeaway from this video is:

If you have any friends who are firefighters, give them a whirl on the helmet and see if they get a grasp of it faster. We get extensive training on how to keep our bearings in rooms without any visual input because smoke often manifests a total blackout, and your experiment felt so much like a search drill. It might be interesting to see what it's like when someone uses it that already has an existing framework to build off of

@davidmende3409

the effectiveness is even higher than you think - when you realize that he ran after the cameraman for half the time without being told, so he pretty accurately found the 3 targets

@kruszielski

Hello! I have a Ph.D in psychoacoustics, and my research was in perception of space and the interaction between sound and vision senses. The effect that you studied here is an actual technique used by blind people to echolocate, by emitting click sound with their mouths or other objects, and require extensive training. The most famous case was a boy called Ben Underwood, that was able not only to walk without a cane, but do very extraordinary thing, like actually play basketball (and hit the score easily) or walk with his bicycle without any assistance. An MRI while doing this technique showed that he used to process echolocation the same area in the brain that non blind people use for vision. That means that he actually could see throught sound.

Bats : "look what they have to do to gain a fraction of our power"

@Ariamaki

The cameraman deliberately running away and not participating really threw this entire thing off and made it seem far less effective than it actually ways. If you visually watch your reactions in the playback you can see the clear and obvious pauses when you realize you've hit something, but it's the camera guy and he just leaves, which messes it up.

Please, that could be a great tool. Especially if the clicks are also inaudible by increasing the frequency further- and the person using it also has a device in ear that can detect that ultrasound.

@leopoldomolina1763

We built up this device in 1996 as a project for high school graduation in Venezuela. It was amazing. I remember that we did a live demo in front of an audience. We used the same principle of echolocation and thus we named our electronic device "Ecolocador", or Ecolocator in English. Our device was very simple with only a couple of ultrasound transducers mounted on glasses, no stereo capabilities, The blind people that were willing to test it were amazed and asked us if we were going to manufacture it in mass, unfortunately we didn't go forward and it was just a high school project However, we gain a science recognition award in a regional high school contest for our invention
