Ooooh. I never knew that there was this model of these different types of vision! I am a congenitally blind person who can (occasionally) find a way to make myself see a tiny bit better, and a lot of what I do is allow my eyes to wander up and down different surfaces. I basically pretend that they are fingertips. I am much less good at the other types of vision, but I've played around with them a bit; it's like I am hurling my body through space. I can't access the New Yorker article but I suspect my experience is different because I have always felt sighted even though I've never had vision. I really suck at being a blind person and thus am incredibly motivated to figure out how sight works, because I can already tell that I'm a visual learner (and an artist) and sight makes so much intrinsic sense to me.
