Can the experience of having the eyes located at either side of the head like some animals do, with an almost 360 degree view of the surroundings, be explained in such a way that a human can intuit how it would be perceived and feel?
Certainly, I can try to explain it. Humans have eyes that are positioned at the front of their heads, which allows them to perceive depth and focus on objects in front of them. However, animals with eyes on the side of their heads have a wider field of vision, which can be thought of as a panoramic view. They can see objects to their sides without having to turn their heads, and their brains are able to process the information from both eyes to create a single image of their surroundings.

If you want to experience something similar to this panoramic view, you can try standing in the middle of a room and slowly turning your head in a circle. As you turn, you'll be able to see objects around you that you wouldn't be able to see if you were looking straight ahead. However, it's important to note that the experience of having eyes on the side of the head is much more immersive and constant, as animals with this type of vision are able to see their surroundings at all times without having to move their heads.
