Having information about all the details of 3D scenes leaves the agent about as limited as having only 2D camera snapshots, or verbal descriptions, if it is not able to extract a language of causal models from this information. Static description of a scene, however precise, is no use if you can not model what happens to this scene as something new happens, as you apply an action to it, or as time just goes on. Static description talks about form, while causal model talks about things like mass, rigidity, temperature and intention. Form is only a first, surface level where the investigation into the underlying model begins, just as sensory perception is only a shadow of what is perceived.
