12 I want to make creatures with eyes. Each eye can be independely moved 12
13 and should see its own version of the world depending on where it is. 13 Vision is one of the most important senses for humans, so I need to
14 14 build a simulated sense of vision for my AI. I will do this with
15 Here's how vision will work. 15 simulated eyes. Each eye can be independely moved and should see its
16 own version of the world depending on where it is.

18 Making these simulated eyes a reality is fairly simple bacause
19 jMonkeyEngine already conatains extensive support for multiple views
20 of the same 3D simulated world. The reason jMonkeyEngine has this
21 support is because the support is necessary to create games with
22 split-screen views. Multiple views are also used to create efficient
23 pseudo-reflections by rendering the scene from a certain perspective
24 and then projecting it back onto a surface in the 3D world.
