The document discusses the development of "vision machines" - machines capable of visual perception and interpretation of environments. It notes that researchers are working on technologies for automated computer vision using video cameras controlled by computers that can analyze scenes without human televiewers. It raises philosophical and ethical questions about the splitting of perception between humans and machines, and how instrumental virtual images created by machines may become enigmas that humans are excluded from. It argues that the development of these vision machines brings up debates around the subjective and objective nature of mental imagery and perception.
