  People are capable of echolocation too. They must be Battleship masters.

  Despite the limitations, Daniel Kish shows that his ‘FlashSonar’ is actually, in some cases, far more effective than the visual input that we receive. His method of echolocation grants him a three hundred and sixty degree view of his environment, with it working almost as well behind him as it does in front. He can ‘see’ around corners and the sound also works through surfaces- it is, in a way, almost like having X-Ray vision.

    I need echolocation to read the tiny text on that site

    I use echo location by yelling “Echo” in a cave to see how big it is.

  i don’t think so, they basically have a very tight bean of sound that goes straight, and then count the time it takes to return. i think this only counts the first bounce, as there would be exponentially more after the first, and they would also be super quiet. (see the thought emporium’s video on this, and btw, im very much just saying my thoughts with 0 research)
