I know, that's a really bizarre twist on the saying, "If you could only see things through someone else's eyes". It might make for a cool plot for a sci-fi novel. Actually seeing things through someone else's eyes, and the horror and confusion that may come from that.

I've always wondered if that's why different people like different colors. One person loves blue while another prefers red.
I've also wondered similarly about taste and food preferences.
