:blink:

holy crap O_O

He prolly gonna zerg rush you when he's playing SC.

i wonder how does he actually navigate on the screen while playng a videogame. he may hear the sounds but he still cant tell where the sound is comming from. and there are so many possibilities where to walk or anything

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(_r.u.s.s. @ Aug 25 2007, 06:42 PM) [snapback]306661[/snapback]</div>Yea, I was thinking about the same thing. Although I saw that the game he was playing was Tekken or some other beat-the-cr÷p-outta-yer-friend game, that simply does not require 3D senses, because it's basicly 2D. But the thing that bothers me, is how on earth can he play it? I mean those games does not have a THAT huge sound libarary, mostly 5-6 sounds for hits, wooshes, jumps and some misc effects. There is no EAX or other 3D sound components in those either, proximity sound processing and echoes are totally out of the question. The screen is flat, so no dolphin thing either... Correct me if I'm wrong, but blind people simply can't play videogames, normal ones I mean. Maybe there are some that made for them, but I don't know about that. I think this one video game thing is a hoax about this guy.

i dont think it was a hoax in newspapers

AMAZING! :kosta: :kosta: :kosta: This guy is a living monument to humanity and its ability to adapt to just about anything.

RESPECT!

It's either a very very very elaborate hoax, or he's got bloody sonars :D

Doubt it's a hoax. I'm always amazed at what blind people acctually can "see" around them (know quite a few). This guy does seem possible, but I must admit, he's really a few notches above the rest.
