I’m curious how that kind of visual/spatial memory interacts with the inability to visualize your imagination.

    If I move my focus to the middle space and blink really quickly I can overlay virtualizations onto reality. That includes any memory I have of an area.

    Yes. I have a good spatial thinking and memory. I know where I’ve seen my glasses last, I just can’t visualise it.

    I delivered packages for the postal service one summer during studies. It took me two weeks to memorize all the streets of the town I had moved to two years prior.

    I prefer to do my 3D modelling in OpenSCAD because 2D visualizations are harder to work with than math & code.
