I think it would be interesting to know if the viewer's familiarity with the object informs how accurate the reconstruction is. This shows presumably lab-raised macaques looking at boats and tarantulas and goldfish -- and that's cool. But presumably a macaque especially whose life has been indoors in confinement has no mental concepts for these things, so they're basically seeing still images of unfamiliar objects. If the animal has e.g. some favorite toys, or has eaten a range of foods, do they perceive these things with a higher detail and fidelity?
