We do see in "Cinerama". Cinerama was designed to complement human =
vision.
Cinerama is a system whose deeply curved screen covers=20
an angle of view of 146 degrees horizontally and about 65 vertically.
This is very close to the angles of view human vision encompasses.

When Fred Waller invented Cinerama out his earlier 5 camera gunnery =
trainer=20
he built for the military, he used three lenses and cameras to produce
human like vision. A very descriptive article comments on these lenses:

"The lenses, custom made by Kodak for Waller,=20
were the size of a contact lens, with a focal length of 27mm=20
- the same as the human eye."

Here is the URL that shows the angles human vision encompasses:

None of the current television systems comes close to recreating=20
the experience of Cinerama.=20
