I think that "vision" as we conceptualize and utilize it in the physical plane starts out as a purely physical sensory function, but after an incarnation has occurred and a consciousness has inhabited a body with this type of sensory apparatus, it can then, from that point, be virtually reconstructed.

Sensory systems translate raw data in a specific way and then deliver the "translation" to the consciousness interfaced with said structure in a mechanical like fashion. But after the body has been shed, that point of consciousness can summon (usually automatically as a sort of habit) the perception of physical sight, which then reflexively creates a "virtual structure" (like an astral body) that functions much like the physical one did in life.
