Is there anything in the world that functions to represent objects in the environment exactly as they truly are?

I immediately thought of cameras of a kind but they don’t exactly represent things as they are do they. Are there like…three dimensional cameras that take snap shots of things? And is there technology that ‘interprets’ these kinds of snapshots?

hmmm…it’s for an essay on meaning and mental content and how we manage to represent the world in our minds…but unless you need or want me to I won’t bore you with the details…
