If you where to give a blind man working eyes he still wouldn't (Or should I say, couldn't, as many people have recovered from not having vision nearly there whole lives.) be able to see.

On top of that, TV screens are flat/somewhat rounded. Echo location sends a sound towards an object, and then balances back if he where to do that while playing games, all he would get is a flat surface. That is, if humans could do echo location. Which they cannot. And no matter how much being blind would help his other senses it simply wouldn't be enough to be able to do so.

He's faking it. It's just that everyone is too stupid to realize it, or figure it out. Kind of like magicians.
you know i just think your threatned by him. its pretty sad how you can point out his weakness and how it cannot be possible when infact the video shows everything. dude grow up and be happy for him that he can live a normal life dispite his disability.

Ok, if you think this kid is faking try this:

Go about 1 or 2 hours with your eyes shut. Note how well you start being able to tell where things are with sound. Now imagine how good you would get if you had to use sound for 10 or 12 years straight.

And multiply that x1000.

When you cannot see from birth, vision centers of the brain become devoted to other senses, such as sound. A normal person's ears are not nearly as good at finding patterns and symbolism as their eyes. The areas of your brain devoted to sight are extremely powerful. A normal person (who can see) cannot possibly imagine how powerful a blind (from birth) person's sense of hearing can be.

Here's an analogy for you OCN. Imagine a PC with CF'd 4870X2s. Now imagine devoting all that GPU power to sound processing. That's how people blind from birth process sound.
