Blind climber sees with his tongue.

Post by Gob »

I shit thee not!

Erik Weihenmayer went blind when he was 13 years old, but new technology enables him to see with his tongue.

The BrainPort device gives him a sense of space and, together with a friend nearby, helps him scale Utah's formidable Castleton Rock.
