re-read the reply... "peripheral vision" can't be recreated on a monitor which sits directly in front of you.

the simmer may wish to "look around" and with anything less, they would lose full range. If the simmer just wanted to look straight ahead... a sphere wouldn't be necessary at all and something that fiited with the range of vision would suffice, to maintain "usable" and "peripheral vision".

see the above points, you've inadvertently answered your own question
