In comics, idk even, but as far as I write it in fanfic, his 'world on fire' thing was a really bad metaphor--basically, he perceives where objects are in a room, roughly what shape they are (eg he might confuse a tablet with a cover and a slim book), can hear electronics/even small noises, can tell where his body is in relation to other things, has a very strong sense of smell/taste/touch, etc. Like a lot of information that he gets is through the 'radar' sense, which as far as I can tell is a combination of insanely wide-range propriocetpion and echolocation. He's definitely still no-light-perception blind, though. There's lots he doesn't pick up on (subtler facial expressions, most facial expressions unless he's focusing a LOT on the person, colors of things, patterns/print, most printed words, pictures etc on a computer, lights, and so on).
