The short answer is yes - the operator sees a true 3d representation using multiple cameras (the console is, er, interesting). I can't elaborate for reasons that should be obvious. Apparently the issues are with resolution and poor lighting conditions - not the basic layout.

I know the MRTT does not meet all the mandatory requirements the USAF has for the KC-46 (granted, some of those requirements were silly, but if you pushed back on a silly requirement the USAF response was 'What part of mandatory don't you understand!' What I don't know is if any of those shortcomings relate to the remote vision system.
