Depending the sensor or array of sensors, cameras arguably see more of the world 'how it is' than humans are capable of.
Night Vision, Heat Maps, LIDAR, and Telescopic lenses can capture more of the world 'as it is' than humans could ever hope to achieve. It's why we developed them! :)
- the_af 4y agoHard disagree. Cameras and their sensors are just different from the human eye. This doesn't make them capture reality "how it is", they just have different capabilities and they make different trade-offs. They are certainly different, but not necessarily "more real". Cameras don't capture "reality".
