Blindness enhances auditory obstacle circumvention: Assessing echolocation, sensory substitution, and visual-based navigation

Performance for an obstacle circumvention task was assessed under conditions of visual, auditory only (using echolocation) and tactile (using a sensory substitution device, SSD) guidance. A Vicon motion capture system was used to measure human movement kinematics objectively. Ten normally sighted pa...
