Have you ever wondered what it might be like to be blind? Its not a fun thought from running into things to enjoying the simple pleasures in life, like, well, playing video games!

So lets meet Toby Ott, a 27 year old who has been gaming since he was 5 years old! He has bilateral anophthalmia, a condition that is pretty rare and it means he literally has eyes in his head, ouch.

Toby loves playing fighting games in titles such as Injustice and Mortal Kombat. He uses audio cues the games provide to get an idea of where the player is on the stage. Hes also into FPS games like Duke Nukem and Doom although mostly with the use of cheats to find the items he needs.

Check out the video titled Gaming Through New Eyes which is a short documentary on Tobys life.



I cant imagine playing a game blind so I salute you Toby!
