True, but an ever better example is when you close your eyes, just letting
them rest from a long day of work, you have to mentally "see" the area
around you.

Is that completely true?
When I walk around in a familiar dark room, I have a model of the room in my
mind.
I use walls to help realign myself in my model of the room. Doorways and
furniture help calibrate my position. I know about how far I move with each
step which is very helpful with getting across a room in the absence of
sensor information. Of course, the assumptions are incorrect at times,
feeling the "wrong" doorway and wondering why there is a wall where the
hallway should be or why there is a sink in the bedroom.
I wonder if I was confined to a 2 wheeled differential drive platform and
had no vision (ever), what would happen then?
