Amazing blind guy

Teen boy rollerblades, plays video games, aims better than you. Big deal? He's blind and uses sonic echoes to navigate. Amazing !

the video below about a guy who is using echoes to navigate, exactly the same mechanism of what the bats, dolphins and whales use. So amazingly that we could call him the batman.
