Always getting blamed for something. You don't have a pact with my wife, do you?

Great diagrams John, even I understand this one.  But what always confuses
me is the fact that the back of the eye is a curved surface. Has anyone ever
done any experiments with photo-sensitizing concave surfaces, such as the
inside of half a ping-pong ball? If you photographed a scene in stereo,
developed the images using reversal processing to get positives, backlit the
images, and viewed them with special contact lenses, would you achieve a
more realistic perception? I know the practicality of this all makes it
close to impossible, but I'm simply talking theory here. Perhaps it would be
more practical if the images were projected onto a special domed screen
(sound familiar?)
