Most of human comfort (which isn't pharmaceutically induced) comes from a sense of familiarity. Unfortunately, this is also where most people get their sense of "truthiness," but that's another story.
Anyways, if you were raised in a machine with these images and then shown the real world, I wonder if it would be a relief or also uncanny?
I know that when it comes to sound, it's really hard to create organic sounds. And that part of our ability to hear sounds happens (theoretically) before the brain, in the form of grouping harmonic series together into isolated sound sources. Perhaps eyes do something similar? Some sort of pre-processing that functionally works for all natural phenomena, kind of like the harmonic series does for sound.
