 * Vision

-Here's how vision will work.
+Vision is one of the most important senses for humans, so I need to
+build a simulated sense of vision for my AI. I will do this with
+simulated eyes. Each eye can be independely moved and should see its
+own version of the world depending on where it is.
+
+Making these simulated eyes a reality is fairly simple bacause
+jMonkeyEngine already conatains extensive support for multiple views
+of the same 3D simulated world. The reason jMonkeyEngine has this
+support is because the support is necessary to create games with
+split-screen views. Multiple views are also used to create efficient
+pseudo-reflections by rendering the scene from a certain perspective
+and then projecting it back onto a surface in the 3D world.
+
+#+caption: jMonkeyEngine supports multiple views to enable split-screen games, like GoldenEye
