well doc is right fish do have remarkable lives and many birds reptiles and animals have strange and interesting seeing mechanisms to scientists today are not satisfied with just a bird's eye view of the world they're trying to find out what the world looks like to turn allows monkeys squirrels and guinea pigs as well one of the most interesting sets of eyes they've discovered is that of the tarsier a goggle eyed little animal recently brought to the united states from the philippine islands at yale university school of medicine dr john f fulton and his associates are learning a lot about tarsier the only two in america and this is the first time they have ever been before the motion picture camera tarsier sees a lot of the world through these goggle eyes of his they cover over half a space and along with the neck you can swivel in a half circle they give him a good view all around him scientists are studying tarsier and other animals and birds because they want a better understanding of human eyes and the fact they have learned about human eye sight have been valuable in the designing of many everyday things in the modern world for example the typefaces that we read the conditions under which we work and our homes where we live and play have improved because of a better understanding of human eyesight and scientific research goes beyond the laboratory certainly our most common form of transportation the motor car reflects in its design and engineering the knowledge of the human seeing mechanism that science has accumulated to give a wide angle a vision for safe driving a glass has been developed that can be used in large sections without view obstructing support safety plate glass in motor car windows is a sandwich of two pieces of plate glass with a chemical plastic between laminated by heat and pressure into a clear strong plate with a toughness to withstand blows to the safety of strength has been added the safety of blurred vision this scene taken through ordinary safety sheet glass with all its distortion contrast with the same scene shot at the same angle through the window of a nineteen forty automobile with safety plate glass there's no distortion here it's as clear as crystal on blurred visibility and the modern automobile allows full use of our seeing mechanism in most important fact about the relation of our eyes to driving is that we have to feel monarchial or layout of the corners of our eyes are instantly detected and draw her attention the engineers have taken advantage of our by knocking her vision in the scientific design of a car for example the corner post is no longer  obstruction by taking a scene with two cameras one in the position of each of the driver zionists we can see how by not killer vision unable the driver to see around the thinner stronger corner post here is a scene taken with the right eye camera and this scene was taken with the left eye camera when the left eye and the right eye seams are combined that's been a solid line of a corner post that disappeared and around it the let's see if tarsier would really have any advantage in a modern automobile this camera on a swivel will cover the same field of vision that the little goggle eyed animal would have such equipment might be handy in traffic at that on the left the field of vision is a complete have circle and also i have circle on the right except for the slope at the back of the top and the door and windshield supports this closed car allows a complete field of vision now let's change the lens in the camera and take a picture of what a fish might see if he could drive an automobile out fish can see a complete half circle at one time with each eye without moving it said this special camera has a spirit a lens like that and this is the field of vision a vision would have through the windshield of an automobile it's all very complete but it makes you a little dizzy and after all perhaps it's best that we don't have
