- This is a clip from an absolutely amazing episode of Daily Planet on Discovery Channel (Canada) with a blind man named Brian Bushway, who has to describe one of artist Bruce Gray's abstract sculptures using echo location to a forensic artist who draws his description.

Bro that was hard af to describe he did great
Bro that shit its hard to explain even for me, he did it great
Me with my eyesight " it's a wood with three woods and smooth" 😂😂😂
Me looking at with my eyes trying to describe it: "Uhhh...it's a ....thing......smooth....a smooth thing..."
i mean its super impresive, the guy definetively can "see" again, but being real even my 4 years old could descrive it better
I just realized that thanks to being blind this guy has an advantage over sighted people when trying to navigate in pitch black darkness! So to put things into a perspective, here's a blind guy who can actually see more than the average sighted person!
I've always wondered what it's like being afraid of the dark and then being blind that's my biggest fear I guess I don't have a choice but not to be afraid of the dark I'm wondering if that's what they see or if it's like Gray
@@kathyj5316 If someone has gone blind, they see complete darkness. If they were born this way, they don't see anything at all.
Apparently, the first group can also have some hallucinations, like sparks, shapes, because their brain is bored not seeing anything so it makes it's own images.
@@kathyj5316 Everyone is different. Some visually impaired people have light perception and some don't. I have conqured man's greatest fear- the fear of the dark!
As⋮ a vident who trained sonar sensitivities, I can support the language difficulty in describing. I "shape rotate" a model in the mind while guessing it by probe.
As a descendent from a blind grandma, I cannot support the thesis that the advantage is thanks to being blind. That suck, yo. The ability is developed with practice and exercise. The advantage of the sonar is real, tho.
i met this dude at a party last night! amazing dude
Did you both click?
@@drips1030 😂😂
I would bet if the pedestal had been covered with some foam or thick fabric to minimize reflections, the replication would have been even closer. I am amazed at his abilities.
dont say bet like that please
Why lmao
What this guy needs is something that generates multiple constant buzzes for him to really see. Clicks are like blinking one's eyes for a fraction of a second.
Should’ve had a control where a sighted person describes a similar statue to the artist. Very interesting segment though
This man is amazing.
It would be very interesting to see how he would do with a sculpture that has edges. How well would a sighted person be able to descibe the sculpture to the artist, I doubt if the end result would be much different.
This looks amazing. I find it hard to believe its possible for him to describe with such accuracy...
That is incredible omg
Amazing
I wonder if a sighted person like me could learn to use echolocation? I mean, I guess I could if I kept my eyes shut for years and really put time and effort into learning it - but would I KEEP the skill even after I open my eyes? Or would I eventually after some time lose my echolocation abillities because it's not really a necessity for me in order to "see" anymore? 🤔
It’s possible, there isn’t much use for it tho
@@ignea3769 I mean perhaps if you got lost in a dark building, somehow.
@@quill7889 Theres probably many more things like for instance… Blind people to a greater degree handle the fear of the unknown better, most humans have a hard time with that fear and is to blame for a lot anxiety. Training echolocation while having sight could inprint even more detail to the echolocation if you were to go blind beqause you could feel with the echo, hands and sight, so the inner image would be a bit more clear than the guy in the video beqause he cant compare what he heard with how it looks, he said that the platform material threw him off, so having sight one could learn materials better, so that would give sighted people an advantage to make it even clearer when having the eyes closed. It could give singing skills or instrument skills a little more edge, it could would help when its dark, and like i said, fear of the unknown so that fear of the dark for example would also be helped, it could prehaps be a very good way for anxious people to ground themselves in the present time and with the eased fear of the unkown they would be more confident.
Daniel kish , big great story, the man who invented human sonar - in that video at 13:20 he says something about fearing the unknown doesnt help a blind person, i thought to myself that maybe that would be a great excerise to do beqause this specific fear is really making people suffer to varying degrees, theres a mental health epedemic so why not.
I also wonder to what extent it would change music, what new neuances would pop out, could make drawing intresting, first drawing from sonar then sight, then combining, a little longwinded… Also brain training is healthy and halts damentia to a certain extent, makes new connections.
Training blind gives more connection to body mechanics and muscles for athletes which also makes one more in the now, which helps anxious people thinking of the past and worrying about the future and many people look in a mirror when they train which makes technique and mind muscle connection worse.
Being open to brain training is good, like being multilingual isnt a must but it is shown to make the brain better with language and make connections faster, opens up the ears to other sounds which a person with only one language get closed off from, the sounds i mean, which can be trained to ear, like the echoes, why learn sign language if your not deaf, helps the brain and could be used in some occasions, why sing, it helps people who feel lonely and is fufilling for many, even deaf enjoy music, so all ways of experiencing different aspects opens up the human experience more, like the blind man here, said in a video that blind people are missing out on sight but same goes for sighted people, so theres plenty of reasons to learn stuff.
@@AckSnus That was pretty good read lol, and yeah you're right. The comparing sounds to what you know it looks like is true, that'd definitely help someone who had sight and went blind, which could be very beneficial. And yeah I was contemplating learning sign language just in case I meet a deaf person or me myself goes deaf as well lol.
@@quill7889 (thumbs up) why not, sign language was intresting reading about, theres not official ones in every country and its organic like normal spoken language, different dialects and such, but they dont really have an international one that works all over the globe, maybe one of the more populur ones could be used like the french version or something, i wonder how much programs have a signer, i saw some yt clips of the show ”inbetweeners” and those signer had to sign dirty jokes and make funny faces, i know theres some old kids show that is for deaf people in sweden, just found out theres deaf news clips on the web also, the nordic countries we have like public service free sites were the stuff they send on tv can be watched on a netflixlike site, some of the tv channels have it, the more basic ones who all get access to, the site have subs and all, and i just checked it, theres sign language used aswell as options, i dont known if all shows have it but, maybe, so maybe theres a big community of this stuff, and maybe its even more of it in bigger places like france, uk, usa.
Ive seen videos on concerts where the use signs and they probably feel the rythm from the loud speakers, poetry etc theres also a channel with a deaf person, she sounds not deaf beqause she lost her hearing at 14 and practiced pronunciation a bit - jessica kellgren:)
Do you have bad hearing or as you said its for ”just in case” you do lose it or meet a person who is?
Damn that was really impressive
Brian is very smart I'm impressed
Daredevil?
Daredevil doesn't click with his tongue
Murdock?
I wonder if he can see what is around corners, like if they end abruptly or if there is someone there or if they end abruptly.
How can somebody imagine looking out at horizon at a bunch of hills if they have never seen a horizon with a bunch of hills???
I’m looking at it and I can’t explain it
SCP 096 stands no chance 💀
I couldn't describe that shit even though i can see
An interesting experiment would be to have this guy spend a lot of time with dolphins and whales and have him try to communicate with them.
I- he can't speak dolphin, he can just echolocate
@@Nick07900 I know that. But there is a chance he might be able to learn
He doesn't know their language, but humans could normally not learn it, but perhaps he could (or someone with similar skills). I think it would be a cool experiment for both species. I am autistic and went to Dolphin Research Center. What I found was the most fun was putting my head underwater. The sound is quite high pitched but I am able to hear high pitches. This was very relaxing--had an endorphin rush lasting days.
@@515aleon you should link up with this guy and teach him what you know. If yall join forces yall might be able to make more progress
@@Midnight_Rider114 join forces lol
Bird box?
Did Chappell make a skit of this?
He can navigate pitch blackness like nothing ...
for the women in the video if you see this please dont say omg
This experiment is stupid, not even a seeing person could explain that object
That man swets a lot under his arm pit
But he’s blind, he’s shooting sound waves from his face and listening to the echo, he’s using that to ensure he doesn’t get splattered by a car or all the daily dangers there may be... so I doubt he gives a fuck
@@phumgwatenagala6606 being blind is no excuse for not using deo
@@monsieurLDN he don’t care tho
@@monsieurLDN If you think deodorants do anything against sweating you are dumb as fuck. Antiperspirants is what stops sweat and people with the condition called hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) will sweat a lot even if using antiperspirant. Up to this day, there is no cure for hyperhidrosis, just temporary solutions that cost more than a thousand dollar and only works for a few months.
Stop judging people for their sweat.
This man is amazing.
