Cool, now just wire that image directly to the brain, so that the effect isn't ruined by going through an actual second eye.

Call me a party pooper, but I believe the greatest achievement in optics is that lens type which crisply maps straight lines to straight lines. When you then view the resulting image from the proper distance, you see what the eye would have seen at the original scene. If there is any curvature apparent in the straight lines, it's coming from you in the same way; you're getting your "curved sensor industry shake-up fix" right there.




I don't think the purpose is to make a different shaped image, but to get the same image with smaller optics. If you wanted it distorted, you could just post-process the image from a flat sensor.
