It demonstrates the root of an idea I've long thought fascinating for a
graphical MUD:
1) implement depth of field ala photography.
2) implement fuzzy peripheral vision as a performance optimisation and
"reality" tweak".
#2 is the simplest to implement (sorta) -- everything away from the center
of the screen (and thus the center of attention) becomes increasingly
fuzzy (LOD, polygon count, etc).
#1 could be an interface nightmare, especially in the control of focus
depth. look at something near by (click or command) and everything else
becomes a blur, look at something very distant, and everything close
becomes a blur. Do default focus on infinity, and most everything is
slightly blurred.
