What's your opinion on modeling the world? Some people think the world is 3D, so we need to model the 3D world. Some people think that since human perception is 2D, we can just model the 2D view rather than the underlying 3D world, since we don't have enough 3D data to capture the world but we have many 2D views.

Fixed question: Thanks a lot for the feedback that human perception is not 2D. Let me rephrase the question: since all the visual data we see on computers can be represented as 2D images (indexed by time, angle, etc.), and we have many such 2D datasets, do we still need to explicitly model the underlying 3D world?
