8、steers them through Place Vend洀攀 in Paris.Due to differences in field of view, colourperception and night vision, for example, sight can be drastically differentfrom species to species. In terms of performance, eyes are as variable asdifferent models of cars, says Schmidt-Morand.The game was created
9、 by using existingvirtual models of the square then applying effects based on descriptions ofeach animals vision.
