I believe Daniel Kish is the first known to teach echolocation to an advanced degree. Daniel Kish, Executive Director of World Access for the Blind. Juan Ruiz is one of the Perceptual Mobility Coaches. Daniel is the first certified blind Orientation & Mobility Specialist in the world. He is one of the world's foremost experts on echolocation. The blind can be taught to "see" by using echolocation along with the latest technological advances in the field.

  • I wonder how this relates to human intuition... Utilizing our senses to such extremes could span our vision to the viewing of the physiological realms, and if we can release as well as receive information, then maybe our voices themselves can function as ultrasound therapy when focused or something...

    INSPIRING

  • @ouniquian, Maybe that would work for most people but I have a severe hearing loss so I am out of luck.

  • ... So I reasoned, if my friend could zoom in like an eagle, then why can't I? I can and I do. Maybe not as good as him, but he's a hunter so his eyes are trained to detect the tiniest of movement. I attune my vision mainly to the sky, where I learn most from.

    3. I can and most everyone can too. These guys on this video do things that are just completely out there, compared to what I'm saying I can do. So why the negative replies?

    @PigeonMaster334 you'd think you'd be aware of bird vision

  • ...In high school, at lunch, i'd lay in the field and stare into the sky and I began to notice free and wild floating white-gold circledots/particles Then I excitedly taught my friends to adjust their eyes properly so that they could see what I did, they learned and they did. A year later, I met a guy with better than normal 20/20 and this guy could see far, and I mean far, like a bird. I'd test him by asking him to read sentences from a little book I was holding across the cafeteria, he did...

  • @carruthersj ...maybe you did something those "sometimes" that it did happen that prepared your visual focus to be able to see as if with a scope.

    @bustaphatty 2. Why? I've done this consciously since high school and I can still do it, and I can teach. I remember being able to zoom in almost microscopically when I was a small boy (4 or 5), by staring up at ceiling in dark at night or looking for insects smaller than the baby white insects that were smaller than ants...

  • @carruthersj 1. what do you mean you couldn't control when it happened? Like only sometimes in the same low light at night? I have to focus for a short period of time before I can see how I want to see, the eyes take time to adjust. Vision is attuned with time. Take for example, watching in the dark and watching in the light, you see better quicker in the light because you are more accustomed to watching in the light, and you need more time and focus to adjust your sight to the darkness...

  • ALL 10 OF THESE PIXELS ARE BEAUTIFUL

  • @ouniquian Are you on drugs?

  • Wow
