The WildLife: From bats to humans - echolocation for the blind, Carol Foster
While researching
bats for one of her films, documentary filmmaker Carol Foster learned that humans were also doing what bats
could do, namely using echolocation to see.That
set her off on a project to help the blind in Belize learn this amazing skill.
She’s even launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to fund the effort. In
this interview, we talk about what we can learn from bats and how the blind
uses flash sonar to see the world.
