how would XR see?

[lorichan]

like I mean how do you think his vision would be? Like a normal humans or like a green grid scale with yellow outline? What do you think?

[Alohilani]

I KNOWZ THE AANSWER

In the episode NOS-4-A2, they show his POV for a couple seconds and it looks, disappointingly, just like normal human vision. :<

[Alohilani]

HOWEVER. What about the other sense? How well can he hear, smell, taste and feel? He seems to have a sense of temperature, mentioning both cold and heat in 'Plasma Monster' and 'Speed Trap', and in the latter he also stole a bathrobe, indicating a sense of what is and is not comfortable. And he's mentioned feeling pain as well.
It seems to me that his 'ears' and 'nose' are probably located on his neck or somewhere else instead of on his head, where they'd be muffled by the helmet... or maybe those sensors are internal. It's pretty obvious he CAN hear, either that or he's darn good at reading lips... and he can smell, (or maybe wants people to think he can to appear more 'normal?') because he complains about people's body odor or breath fairly regularly (it's pretty obvious that whatever senses XR has, tact is not one of them).
His sense of hearing might actually be better than a human's, he can pick up the sound of footsteps in the first movie before Booster can- granted, Booster is pretty distracted. Also, the amount of microphone/sound amplifying technology available even today, outside of the scientifically advanced BLoSC universe, makes it seem like it would be not only easy to install hearing sensors into a robot, but also easy to make robot hearing more sensitive than human hearing without increasing the cost of the equipment overly much or extending too much extra effort. Granted, I know absolutely nothing about robotics so this is basically just pulled out of my butt. ;
XR also seems to have senses (or abilities might be a better word) that humans don't... as in, he can communicate through data with a computer, and in 'Planet Destroyer' it's shown that he can be badly affected by 'funny energy readings' that have no effect whatsoever on organic team members.
And then there's the matter of energy vampire control but that's a whole different story...

What if he could hypotically change his vision at will? Just a thought.

[Alohilani]

I thought of that earlier today... he might have a targeting system, or heat seeking.... in fact, he probably does. X-ray vision, I think we'd know about. |3

[mjmarcxs]

He'd probably get grossed out looking at certain people with X-ray vision.

He can do that because a) he's just awesome like that, b) he's magic, or c) he is an EAGER.

Dude... What's an eager?

Yeah... Well I was thinking that he would see just like every robot: With motion sensors, but he can SEE. I mean, and feel pleasure or disappointment from what he sees, so maybe they.. Don't they have artificial eyes? I mean in the real world? Don't the manufacture them?

Oh my word, and FEELINGS? Especially ones like with nerves in your body... I have no clue. Let's see. In this one show called "My Life as a Teenage Robot" she (the robot) had her "mother" to put sensors all over her body that were all connected by wires. I still don't know how that could work. How does MICHEAL JACKSON feel with all his artificial skin, hmmmmmm?...

They can make plenty of artificial limbs and organs, and BLoSC seems to take place in the future, maybe they created real artificial intelligence!

Or, being the lil' perv he is...

[elblooderino]

Sorry for the obscure book reference. Eager is a robot in a book by the same name. He had all the human senses and he was so advanced that he could fell emotions like humans and learn things.

[ab103]

Can XR see in the dark?

[Saturn]

Well, in clips from 'The Slayer', his eyes can act as flashlights, so I'm guessing he can. xD

[ab103]

What about without any light?
