In Terminator 2, how does the T-1000 "see"?

Asked by Berserker (33548points) May 2nd, 2015

In the movie they show you how the T-800 (the one Arnold plays) sees a few times. Bunch of analysis screens with constant information which the machine processes, and then apparently acts upon its best judgement going from the info it has.

But they never show you how the T-1000 (the liquid metal antagonist) sees, if it sees at all. I thought it would have been interesting to see how it handles things. It’s superior to the T-800, so how do you imagine it sees stuff? For some reason I imagine that it doesn’t see at all like the T-800, but rather it sees, or “feels” temperatures from things. Body heat from people, other machines, vehicles and so forth. So if you saw through its eyes, everything would just be colored blurbs and blobs and stuff. Kind of like a predator I guess.
But I’m just completely guessing here.

Was it ever explained somewhere how the T-1000 sees? If so, how? If not, how do you imagine it to be?
