'Virtual nose' may reduce simulator sickness

I've always wondered if cutting off your nose would give you better stereoscopic vision. A huge amount of field of view is lost in each eye because of the nose. Don't really notice until you close one eye.

I'd imagine it wouldn't improve the quality, but could improve your field of view within which you have working stereoscopic vision (e.g. past ~45 degrees looking left/right from your head's facing)

Seeing discussion of the paper earlier, I investigated the limits of my own vision, and noticed that beyond just my nose I can actually (barely) see the bridge of my brow, my cheeks, and even my mustache (significantly more so if I pucker my lips).

I'm wondering if virtual glasses, helmet mounted display elements, or other pieces would also help.

Your eyes can only focus a tiny area in center though
