    bit different in that he could see the visible light spectrum

    he could not: https://i.imgur.com/dlVpyIo.mp4

    would you want to see like that? i mean if you were born blind and this was your only option, it is definitely better than nothing, but other than that, it is hard no from me.

      That’s a visual representation, in the visible light spectrum, of what he sees. He would see it differently than what appears on the viewscreen.

      There’s also nothing there that shows or says he can’t see the visible light spectrum.

        there is, it is exactly there on the screen, his perception of visible spectrum is just one step above nothing. would you want to see like that? accompanied by occasional technical problems and pain? would you call that superior to your eyes?
