Re: echo location? hi afrim,While it is true that echolocation is extremely useful and can let you build a mental map of an area, it is not equivalent to sight. No sense can truely be equivalent to another sense. And also, there are other factors that might make it impossible or hard

Re: echo location? The first time I noticed this was walking down a street clicking my cane on the sidewalk. It was a telephone pole. Even inside a house, our shoes ore even bare feet make a quiet sound that bounces off walls. Our ears can detect the difference of a sound below us rather

Re: echo location? Hi. I can imagine for those who have no sight at all it would be easier at night as the sound in some areas is indeed clearer, however like cinnamon I find it more difficult sometimes. I think this is because I have pretty good light perception, and therefore when its

Re: echo location? Does anyone else find it harder to use passive echolocation at night? I dont know if its a difference in the air quality changing sound, or if Im passively using light perception I dont even know about, maybe it has to do with having vision until age eleven

Re: echo location? Hi Dhruv,Yes, I also use this. The only sight I have is light perception and Ive used echo location since I was about 4. I can tell where barriers, doors, walls, fences, tables, cars and even curbs are and where the gaps are in them. I can also tell the difference

echo location? Has anyone else relyably done this? I can avoid pillars, walls, doors etc. I can also distinguish open doors from closed ones. Has anyone else done this (if yes, do you have any tips?). I dont do it with clicking or any other stuff, I just use my environmental sound. URL
