yes we see 2d surfaces in 3d. Dolphins can actually see in 3d as they can sense entire 3d volumes and project them back to eachother too.

I’m assuming you meant “yes we see 3d surfaces in 2d” to be consistent with the parent comment? Also, I’m impressed that dolphins have that ability. How does projecting them to each other work biologically? Do they somehow encode what they see as sound (less lossily than humans do)?

    I'd imagine they work directly in the frequency domain. They don't "see with sound", they'll just hear nested spheres or whatever.
