It is not a big deal to save two two-dimensional images from retina.
It should be possible even to construct from them a three-dimensional
image. The question is what happens next? It is the same question, who
gets this 3D-image.
You robot do. It gets tagged with some notes, timestamped, and stuck in
the database for further reference and adjustment of learning
algorithms. That's it. There's no homunculus who watches it in the
Cartesian theater. That it is referenced and used in your cogitation to
influence your speech and other actions is what constitutes your being
conscious of it.

searched database. Then when some problem came up that wasn't covered
by existing modules, the robot would search this database for
possible relevant situations in the past. So it would be part of the
learning algorithm.
