I've always been currios how side-eyed creatures like birds and fish are
able to process 2 separate views in their brains. Not to mention
chameleons which can look forward with one eye and backwards with the
other. 
I thought it would be interesting to make a device which could divert
our vision out the sides of our heads (using prisms, mirrors etc.). If
they had wide angle lenses, we could see 360 degrees. Could our brains
process that information?
