Echolocation helps a blind man “see” objects around him

Today, 04:15

Daniel Kish uses echolocation to better navigate space.

The man has been blind since childhood, but he moves calmly along the streets, avoiding any obstacles - from benches and poles to trees and cars. All thanks to clicking his tongue. The sound of the clicks bounces off objects and returns, helping Daniel's brain create something like a map.

Thanks to echolocation, he learned to determine not only the distance to an object, but also its shape, texture and even density. This is not a superpower, but a skill that the man has developed over the years, and now teaches it to others. Confidently, calmly, without ostentatious heroics. Just a man who refused to live within the framework and came up with an alternative to vision.
