360° Vision

[RBDash]

So I realized that I'm able to visualize what's behind me from my memory in a way that feels like 360° view. That got me thinking, since it's possible to impose things in real life will it be possible to extend my FOV to all around my head? Obviously I won't be able to see what's really behind me, but constructing a view from memory is much better than just blackness. And if that's possible, it could also help with imposing anything else as imposing something in your rear view could be done first, and then it'll be a lot easier to do so in front of you.

 

If you do that I'll also be interested if that affects your tulpa, would s/he also gain 360° vision or keep their FOV?

The idea of seeing 360° is a bit mind boggling to think about. It doesn't sound too likely though. Your visual cortex is made to only take in information from 180° in front of you, and it's all you've seen your entire life. Being able to impose even a false extra 180° while still taking in and processing visual information sounds too complex for the human brain. Plus I've never heard of anyone even attempting such a feat. Although highly unlikely, I'd be really interested in the results if someone took the time to actually try this.

I'm not really sure you could rewire your brain that drastically just through will. I mean it's one thing to impose something within your vision; it's another to rewire your vision itself. You're welcome to try, but I don't even know how you'd begin to do something like that.

Maybe, but might not be exactly like you'd want it to be. Try doing it in a lucid dream first as some people are capable of altering their perception in them rather well.

 

I can imagine multiple wonderlands at the same times with my eyes open, but the level of attention I can pay to things decreases if I do too much. I'd imagine that could do the 360 thing that way, by imagining what is behind your back, but it would make it harder for you to pay attention to everything.

I think we talked about what your tuppers see when they look behind you. I can't exactly remember, but we came to the conclusion that they assume what's behind you based off memory. But we might have come to different conclusions.

Eh, I see no reason it couldn't be done, though I doubt it would seem as realistic as what you're looking straight at. When I examine my field of vision, stuff in the center is clearest, and gets less clear toward the periphery (well duh). Out at the very edge of the periphery, it sorta fades into nothingness. Still I can easily visualize the entirety of an object that's partly in view there. Continuing that, I can visualize the object I know is next to it, and so forth. The further off of my FOV I get, the harder it is to visualize the objects without pulling them into my FOV, overlaid on other stuff but in my mind's eye. However, it anchors them where they are if I visualize the sequence of objects, starting at the one I can partially see.

Totally possible, in a way. Of course, I'd be getting into a discussion that's questionable and frowned upon around these parts, and as such I'm just going to leave it at that.

I was gonna make a thread about this. When I drag around my Tulpa in the real world. I can only describe it as a 360 degree view. I can't see everything behind me in nice detail, but it is actually like i can see my tulpa wherever she is (unless shes behind a wall).

 

Its quite a mindfuck but if you do it you understand.

 

Who else does this?

You can't see in 360 degrees, though through the use of tulpas/servitors you can feed them information about your surroundings and have them create a composite of everything going on around you. I use this trick on a daily basis to avoid being run over in my school's parking lot while I'm riding my bike.
