Do you think first person games will become more immersive with added nose on the screen?

[Kaivan]

You know, just like real life first person view, there's our nose obstructing our view at all times. So instead of having a camera in front of the character's face like we usually have in first person games, we will be looking through the character's eyes. The nose might be blurred so it wouldn't be as annoying.

Do you think it's a good idea?

But we'll still be seeing our own real-world nose too. So we'll be seeing two noses.

Its not in the middle of my view, certainly if I look down I can see my nose.

It should appear sometimes when you become aware you have a nose you can sorta see in the very bottom of your vision and then it sticks around until you stop being hyper aware you have a nose.

 

[Dezzy]

Maybe they can add eye floaters too for ultimate realism.

Picturing a lot of people crossing their eyes now and questioning if they've always been able to see their nose but just not noticed it.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

My nose isn't so big that it sticks out into my vision, so no.

 

[ghostcrew]

They should have your character blink every few seconds too!

Only if I can pick my nose in game otherwise it's pointless.

 

[Lant_War]

Easiest way to see your nose: close one eye. That black you see on the other side is not your other eye being closed, but rather your nose obstructing the view of the eye you have open. Your brain doesn't try to process the view of your closed eye at all, iirc.

We see our nose all the time. Our brain is just good at ignoring it

It's true, your brain just ignores it so you rarely process that lol

I mean ... this might actually be a good idea in VR games

 

[Tochtli79]

You really should've included some images to support this take.

 

[Dreamboum]

they should also darken the screen for a split second to simulate blinking, I agree

 

[Aurica]

Wait, some people can't see their nose? How?

Right? I'm sitting here wondering if I have a huge nose or something based on the number of people questioning it. It's super easy for me, especially with one eye closed.

I think most people sees but some shit in our brain makes we just ignore it.

I feel like game devs post random ideas here sometimes lol.
But no it doesn't add anything to the user experience

 

[mujun]

My eyebrows have way more of a presence than my nose.

 

[Tyaren]

Lol, my nose is actually not visible in my normal field of view, just when I look down and squint.

Wait, some people can't see their nose? How?

Probably dependend on the size and shape of their nose. I honestly had no idea that some people can see their nose.

I don't actively notice it, but I can absolutely look at it at any time. Some of the replies in this thread make it sound like some people cannot see their nose if they try.

We should add bangs first to be honest.

i only see my nose if i close one eye and look to the side. otherwise no.

I think it's people not realizing their brain "ignores" it when both eyes are open even though it's definitely there. I'll have to look it up but I believe even if you loose an eye the same thing will eventually happen because the nose is "irrelevant" information.

I said I can't see my nose unless I squint or look down at it. And then it is only some blurry flesh colored spot.

Same for me. I'd call that seeing it, though.

 

[Uzupedro]

WHY CAN'T I SEE MY NOSE?

Your brain filters out your nose in a few ways: One, your nose blocks part of the visual field of both your eyes, so when your brain receives the information your eyes are transmitting, it constructs a whole image from the unblocked information from both eyes. Two, your nose is in your peripheral vision, so you don't notice it as much. Three, it's so close to your eyes that it's out of focus, because you're focusing on things that are farther away.

As it turns out, your brain filters out a lot of visual information, not just your nose. If it didn't, you would be overwhelmed with so much sensory input that you wouldn't be able to function. This is, for example, why people who wear glasses don't usually notice them.

Now, that doesn't mean you can never see your nose. In fact, you can see it right now. Close one eye, then the other. You'll be able to see your nose on the side of your eye. But when you open your eyes again, it disappears.

This illustrates the importance of getting regular eye exams, especially if you're at risk for developing glaucoma.

OP wants it to be visible in regular view though. Character don't usually sqint or look directly down at their nose. They look straight forward.
