The Doctor uses a '''visual recognition system''' in order to determine the species of the monster [[Vincent van Gogh]] could see. [[Eleventh Doctor|The Doctor]] had a recognition system which he received from his godmother. Initially, the Doctor thought the system was pointless and a waste of space, until he needed to use it.
The '''Visual Recognition System''' was a device capable of identifying the species of an individual by their image. [[The Doctor]] obtained one as a gift from his godmother, but only bothered to use it in a [[Eleventh Doctor|later regeneration]].

The recognition system was able to be strapped to the user and was able to identify any species of alien. It was even able to identify and show a [[Krafayis]], a species which is usually invisible. When it finds a match, the system pings and gives the user information on the species, including name, planet of origin, and other information about it. Initially, when trying to identify the Krafayis using a drawing, the system had trouble, at first identifying it as a parrot and then as a polar bear.
Using a direct image or a picture, the system was capable of identifying its species. Though it was capable of using drawings, it would be less accurate. It would then give the species' name, [[planet]] of origin and other important information. It could be both connected to the [[TARDIS]] and print out the information, or carried by the user and giving information on a screen. ([[DW]]: ''[[Vincent and the Doctor]]'')


It was also able to identify certain individuals of certain species, such as the Doctor. When it identified [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]], it displayed images of his [[First Doctor|first]] and [[Second Doctor|second]] incarnations, and listed his planet as [[Gallifrey]], though it did not mention the fact he was a [[Time Lord]].

Abilities

Using a direct image or a picture, the system was capable of identifying its species. Though it was capable of using drawings, it would be less accurate. It would then give the species' name, planet of origin and other important information. It could be both connected to the TARDIS and print out the information, or carried by the user and giving information on a screen. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor)
