# Anton made this simulator to teach us tracking

## Summary

A simulator built by Anton demonstrates the challenge of object tracking by showing how human visual perception fills in structural information that doesn't actually exist in raw sensor data. When a scene is converted to a height map or raw scalar values, the brain's visual processing breaks down, revealing that computers only see a pile of numbers with no inherent structural information like circles or boxes — everything must be reconstructed algorithmically.
