Warning In The Dark (1958)

The film explores the research conducted at the Institute of Experimental Psychology in Innsbruck, Austria, focusing on the “sense of obstacles” in blind individuals. Professor Theodor Erismann and Dr. Ivo Kohler study how blind people, like Anton Berol, can perceive objects without using traditional senses. Berol describes his experience of sensing obstacles as a feeling around his forehead, akin to running into a spider’s web. Various experiments reveal that while the sense of obstacles can function without sight, the ears play a crucial role in perception. By using sound and electronic devices, researchers aim to enhance the obstacle sense, leading to improved navigation for blind individuals.
