I thought this video was very interesting because it shows how a person can adapt to seeing the world around them in a reversed manner. After many weeks of wearing the reversing goggles, the man could successfully navigate his world without spilling, breaking, falling, or running into objects. But, after removing the goggles, the man saw objects in a reversed manner for a short while.
I especially thought the concept of not needing vision (not including use of reversing goggles) to determine where an object/person was in relation to the individual was interesting.
The individual also adapted over time to wearing goggles that inverted objects (up & down experiment). Without the goggles, the person could rely on gravity to show them if something was upside-down or right-side up. Again, over time the person re-adjusted to seeing objects normally. I had never seen experiments like these before, and I learned some new things.
