Spatial localization accuracy is at least an order of magnitude poorer for haptics than for vision.
“Spatial localization accuracy is at least an order of magnitude poorer for haptics than for vision (Apkarian-Stielau & Loomis, 1975; Loomis & Apkarian-Stielau, 1976).”
From Designing sensory-substitution devices: Principles, pitfalls and potential1 (2016) · cites this paper as Loomis & Apkarian-Stielau, 1976
The Apparatus section gives rough spatial-resolution measurements for touch on the back and deliberately blurred vision, while the Discussion describes their resolution under those conditions as approximately equal. Neither section reports spatial localization accuracy or establishes an order-of-magnitude difference between haptics and vision. Searches for localization accuracy and a tenfold tactile–visual comparison found no such passage. (LLM, conf=0.73)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
