Situation: I am looking for a missing iterm inside a trash can, while there is a chest and a bookshelf behind me.
Alternative situations: I am about to switch off the light in the room, while there is a storage bin on my left and the door in my two o'clock direction. Turning off the light switch in front of me before I leave through door to my right.
Question: Would I go forward or backward to get the stuffed animal?
