I really wish they made the things so they gave you some peripheral 
vision, not like eye glasses though. Having the "corner" of your eyes 
always seeing the edge of the glasses, for me, as someone that never 
wears such things, a) distracts from the immersion, and b) prevents 
seeing things on the edges of the scene as well as you might without them.
