A Fly's View Below is a simulation of the view a fly has flying through the streets at night. In reality, we have no idea if this is what actually is perceived: the fly brain may simply edit out the black area, the way we are not aware of the blind spot in our own eye. Also, the field of view is more likely to be far wider, almost 360 degrees, whereas here - it is limited to about 180 degrees.To see short simulation at its best you need to wear red/cyan 3d glasses.
