"The Living Camera" Draws Rome From Memory

[MisterX]

I think this is as close to Science Fiction as anything else I have ever seen. Really reminds us how little we actually know about our own brain, let alone anything else.

I work with people with autism. I love hearing of savants and the amazing things people are capable of.

That is pretty fucking amazing.

He could make some good money doing carciatures down at the beach boardwalks LOL

But fuck, look at him go. And to hell with him memorizing it all, it's amazing he's able to draw all of that without referencing the perspective lines in the first place.
I'm amazed at his mental capacity. Normally people at that level of savancy simply cannot talk or dress themselves.

Incredible. Major search engines could use him to store their SERPS.
