Thought this was a pretty cool video that I would share.
His reactions really remind me of someone who is tripping hard. And seeing 'things' they have never seen before, or seeing them in a new way.

Yeah I'm wondering how they can possibly work myself.
But its pretty awesome regardless.

Some people don't even see some colors, black and white would be like worst case scenario. Not to mention sometimes colors look the same if you are colorblind.

No, blindness is where you cannot see defined edges, therefore you cannot make out shapes and objects. I would imagine seeing black and white being the same as watching a black and white TV show.

ahh, i see what you mean. you mean only being able to see balck and white right?
at first i thought you meant there was a type of colorblindness where you couldn't distinguish between black and white lol

Oh haha
Don't think I have ever heard of that happening. Probably just means your visual cortex is so underdeveloped it doesn't work at all, ie blind from birth.
But yea I meant only being able to see black and white
