I once listened to a program in which capacity of hearing impaired persons to understand sounds through body sensations was explored.
And many who rely on ears for sound do not experience the same. So this could be similar for sight. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Asudani, Rajesh Sent: Friday, February 03, 2017 11:26 AM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Subject: Re: [AI] Its 25th Jan today: Kaabil movie review: Hrithik Roshan is out for revenge Significance of sound and smell has been highlighted time and again, often unrealistically, in society as a sixth sense. It is also subjective and individual differences prevail. We have to rely exclusively on non-visual stimuli, but capacities do differ here also, and let them not assume that we all are super sharp in this. However, it is a tragedy, for sighted that they care a damn about non-visual stimuli. Maybe, vision is too much dynamic for them to make them realize importance of non-visual world. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of avinash shahi Sent: Friday, February 03, 2017 10:49 AM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] Its 25th Jan today: Kaabil movie review: Hrithik Roshan is out for revenge Kaabil's contribution: Just think for a minute: from Samosa to chicken smell differs and we can easily identify the items. and from cycle to aeroplane the sound varries and totally blind can easily identify the vehicle. Its a different thing that sighted people don't give dam about it. The significance of smell and sound is as powerful as sight for sighted people. And movie shows it well.
