Humans do not have echo location. Dolphins, among other sea mammals, have a sensory organ that they use for echo location, which is basically sonar. Most humans that lose one of there senses, such as sight, rely on one of the other five to get them by. This allows them to have acute abilities in one sensory area, where the other might be lacking. For most blind people, this is usually hearing. Even so, you cannot use echo location to play a video game. It doesn't work that way. Echo location works by sending pulses of low wavelength noise that bounce off objects and allow a dolphin to generate a depiction of the distance of the object. On a TV screen, the objects are not real; so there is no way he could be using echo location in that case. This is nothing more than a blind individual who has mastered his surroundings, and overcome the challenges of his daily life.

no you can clearly hear him clicking as he walks. and of course he doesnt use echo location when hes playing the video game lol you can hear him say that each player makes different sounds and he could tell which one was doing what by the sounds

If you notice if you walk in an area surrounded by things and make this clicking noise the sound will be different than standing in a open field. You sure are really ignorant in your posting. He obviously does not use "echo location" but just like the reported said he uses the clicking to find his way. You should really keep your bullshit out of here. This is pretty damn amazing if you ask me. I would not last 1 day being blind, I cant walk being able to see. I still run into shit. This kid really deserves anything he ever achieves in like simply because he overcame what most people that were born blind cant do.
rep for a great find!

Human echolocation is the ability of humans to sense objects in their environment by hearing echos off those objects. This ability is used by some blind people to navigate within their environment. They actively create sounds, such as by tapping their canes or by making clicking noises with their mouths. Human echolocation is similar in principle to active sonar and to the animal echolocation employed by some animals, including bats and dolphins.By interpreting the sound waves reflected by nearby objects, a person trained to navigate by echolocation can identify the location and sometimes size of nearby objects, and use this information to steer around obstacles and travel from place to place. However, since humans make sounds with much lower frequencies and slower rates, human echolocation can only picture comparatively much larger objects than other echolocating animals.
