X10 sounds like a mighty big number!  How is that defined/calculated?
Does this include outliers like folks with severe tunnel vision, or is
there a 10X variation among people with "normal" peripheral vision?
(I realize that's a somewhat circular question.)

A question touched on in earlier discussions, but never directly
addressed, was whether a link could exist between range of peripheral
vision and the degree of "being there" sensation experienced by
a viewer of stereo slides.
