Like all things, there is apparently a whole spectrum of visualization: Aphantasia (the black wall) and Hyperphantasia (AR-like superimposition of images upon reality). What I find interesting is that every single one of us is somewhere on that scale, and we don't quite understand the perspective of someone who is on a different place on the scale. Your own question highlights that ("Is it actually possible to see anything else?"). We are all trained from birth to deal with our senses and mental capabilities as they come, barring an injury. What each of us perceives is the de-facto normal. Learning that others don't have senses just like ours is something of an eye-opener.
