I worked with a guy who used to do this. I first spotted him doing it when the lift doors opened. He could tell if anyone else was in the lift ahead of him by the sound that bounced back.
People underestimate the power of sound and hearing. I felt this as a kid, when I was behind a theater with a blindfold on. I was behind this veil, and every time I talked I hear a sound, a resonating one, I could picture exactly where it was coming from and what was happening based just on the acoustics. Whether it was people talking in the lobby, music playing on stage, or other noises backstage, I had a whole scene painted in my mind from audio alone. It was amazing how much information you can perceive just through listening. Ever since then, I've been fascinated by how we interpret the world through our sense of sound. There's so much packed into what reaches our ears. I think if more people paid attention to listening actively, they'd be surprised what they can discover about their surroundings and even other people just through picking up on the auditory details around them. This man, is telling the truth. You can train yourself to adjust to a certain degree of technique without feeling the need to just sit there and let yourself die out of boredom. I'm not blind, but everytime I walk, I close my eyes and everytime, i could picture what is beneath me, what type of vehicle is moving on the on other side of my ear, it is phenomenal. And if you think I walk at a few hundred meters, you'd be wrong. I know exactly what the layout of my hometown is therefore it makes it so much easier for me to simply walk all the way home without opening a single eye. The sound of my footsteps never stop echoing bottom to top, that I genuinely know what shape the ground is, a rocky upward slope, a straight but bumpy road, it made me realize that I have also honed a the technique this man uses.
@@furballscave4431 Please don't say the things you don't know. The man in this video is Daniel Kish. He met that boy (Ben) who also did this and passed away shortly after. Long poignant story. Daniel Kish said Ben had the strongest echolocation skill of anyone he ever met including himself. Ben could even sense chain link fences. A lot people around the neighborhood refused to believe he was blind. The neighbors would say _"I don't see him with a cane and instead I see that kid riding a bike avoiding obstacles, weaving around cars how can he be blind? don't screw with me."_ He was taken away because of retinoblastoma; only then after seeing the videos on RUclips people learn to accept that Ben was blind. I bet he could ride an electric motorized scooter if he was alive, that kid was very special and I doubt we ever going to see/hear another person as equal as him.
I have a theory on why clicking sound works for him. In engineering, in signals and systems topic to be more specific, there is a concept called "impulse response". Basically what you do is that you apply an impulse (an infinitely short pulse) to the system and see how the system responds to it. This way you can mathematically model the system. This person very cleverly figured that out with a clicking sound. He applies a short sound pulse and identifies the system around him. I think it helps that the hearing part of our brain can do a frequency analysis. This video brought me back to my signals and systems course days :)
@@spiralzzz203 it's literally just reactive response science. Throwing a ball at someone activates their catch/protect response. However this incredible unsighted man uses active echolocation the same way bat's do, but as a human being he's able to gather far more information through reason and logic.
It is said that a significant amount of brain power is dedicated to vision alone. Loss of vision significantly improves other senses, especially hearing.
They actually did a brain scan on this guy and some other echolocating blind folks and found that most of the parts of their brains that normally generate images from one’s eyes were active upon hearing recordings of their own clicking. So his brain presumably still generates images of the world around him just without light and color.
This guy use the stick just to not embarrass those who can see. With their eyes, I mean... Maybe he heard that "visually impaired" people carry a stick, otherwise he doesn't seem to consider himself as "blind".
Albert Guilmont I am blind myself. Firstly, it's called a cane, not a stick, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Second, it is always important to use a cane even though you may have other techniques up your sleeve. Using a cane is the first and most fundamental aspect of being able to navigate the world as a blind person. It can tell you information that echo-locating can't always tell you.
Gavin Lightfoot LOL! I use a special type of technology called screen-reading software to access my phone and laptop, as well as the Internet. I use VoiceOver on my iPhone and JAWS on my computer.
Yeah, I saw him interacting with a young black teen who taught himself echolocation as well. He stressed that it was important to use the cane because there are certain things that echolocation wouldn't tell you. To demonstrate he took him to a ditch and asked the kid what he saw. The kid thought it was a curb or something. It was like 5 foot drop from construction work.
First time, I thought he's a robot. OMG. He's so talented with echolocation.. I tried it myself, and feel amazed by how I can actually identify the distance of the walls arround me.. Nice.
I'm disappointed and amazed that Ben Underwood the first blind person to have known to use the clicking techniques to get around without a cane and played basketball and accomplished things that no other could, he wasn't even mentioned once, you are gone but not forgotten Ben Underwood RIP.
I saw a comment that this guy will survive the bird box movie in real life because he can't see anything. Yes we get it he's blind. But, he won't survive a quiet place movie in real life and he will die instantly because of the clicking sound he makes. 😂😂😂😂
I saw a clip on reddit of this man wanted to see more. Cause I genuinely found it moving.. like my heart wishes him all the best. While at the same time. It makes me think.. whats my excuse. 😢 damn.
This guy is the type of guy that would survive if he was in bird box
I don't want to spoil too much for those who haven't yet seen the movie - But yeah! He would be alive and living happily in the end 😉

this has always amazed me, its remarkable how good his ears became to be able to distinguish echo'd sound to location and map it in his brain.
I went to waaaaay too many rock concerts to ever be any good at developing this technique.
It’s amazing how the body is designed to adapt when it loses one of its senses.
Life always finds a way without fail. All creatures are very good at adaptation.
@@Mikey-ym6ok life… finds a way.
The body? He adapted. He just used his intelligence to circumvent the problem.
