[Lab] Depth Perception

[Darcy Whyte]

Um, if you moved your eyes (and the scene),  it would be a strange feedback

I suspect that if the rates of movement were set right it might work out for
matching your head movement to the sensation.

You want to save the eyeball movement for moving around the screen.
