The composition of visual landscapes significantly impacts the utilization of eye features, consequently reflected in perception. As an outstanding species, human perception holds profound planetary consequences, directly influencing experience and behavior. This paper investigated why humans have become specialized in the certain type of visual attention, referred to as fovea vision. Furthermore, it explores peripheral vision and how these two modes are stimulated by lighting. It is commonly known that we receive and process visual information very differently in fovea and peripheral vision, which suggests a difference in time perception. To quantify the seemingly unquantifiable, the sense of chronological time was used to investigate the experiential variances resulting from fovea and peripheral light stimuli. An experiment was conducted, designed based on research, where the participants were asked about sense of time, after fovea and peripheral stimuli. Despite time and resource limitations, the results do suggest that sense of time increases with peripheral stimuli, but not enough to state statistical significance. Additionally, that peripheral-time is more varied and influenced by what came before, while fovea-time remains consistent. This paper highlights the importance of considering the outer limits beyond the fovea, and suggests that doing so, can bring us closer to our surroundings through embodiment and spatial engagement.
