Sandbox currently being used for peripheral vision analysis.

Summary and assumptions

People with a nonfunctional eye will lack corresponding peripheral vision. Thus they will be required to turn their whole face in order to see things on their blinded side. This sheet is meant to document the behaviors of characters who are known to be blinded one one side so that other blinded characters can be identified.

General observations

People who are blinded in one eye, while they may give aside glances at first when their names are called, tend to turn their heads fully toward the speaker when being spoken to or holding a conversation (Yamato vs Koumei). People with functional eyes seem to be more comfortable speaking without turning their heads fully if the speaker is still in their peripheral vision. (Yamato vs Koumei) One-eye-blinded individuals sometimes hold conversations with people in their blindspots, so long as the conversation doesn't require them to see each other. (Yamato) This may vary by person because Kuroda in his intro case very rarely spoke to anyone with his head turned. He either stood and looked at them directly or he didn't at all.

Characters with bad eyes don't overfavor turning towards their good eye side to see people who are mostly behind them - they will turn with whichever side is closer, even if it is their bad one. (Yamato)

Characters with one eye still do certain quirky Gosho things like speak with their eyes shut for a moment and then open them for the dramatic punchline. (Yamato)

Hyoue Kuroda

Kuroda is blinded in his right eye

• 914p3 - Talks to people in his blindspot standing behind him. turning his head, but not far enough to see them. Turns to face them more fully by the next page.
• 914p14 - Talks to Koumei at his 3 o'clock without turning his head, just looking to the side at him. He shouldn't be able to see Koumei easily since Koumei is on his bad side.

Yamato Kansuke

Yamato is blinded in his left eye

• 913p5 - Turns whole face to see Koumei in contrast to Koumei who can see him in his right eye's peripheral while his left eye is shut.
• 913p5 - Turns whole face to see Yui, Yui does the same.
• 913p6 - Catches Conan staring at him in the peripheral of his functional eye, turns to look at Conan full forward over the next two panels
• 913p6 - Hears his name called and glances left. He probably shouldn't be able to see the speakers given they are in the periphery of his bad left eye. Turns his head 90 degrees to face the other police directly in next two panels. Koumei can see over his shoulders without turning his body as much. Yui was already faced in their direction.
• 913p8 - Speaks to Yui while looking out of the peripheral of his good eye.
• 913p13 - Has to turn his head fully 90 degrees to see where Koumei is squatting with a body at his 8 o'clock. The body Yamato was looking for was in the blind space of his bad eye and thus he missed it.
• 913p14 - Looks back at the head of the body behind him using his good eye's peripheral vision.
• 913p15 - Talks to a cohort with his head inclined in that man's direction, but can't see that man because he is standing in his blindspot.
• 913p15 - Looks sharply back behind him using his good eye's peripheral vision.
• 914p8 - Looks back towards Koumei at his 7 o'clock using his bad side. He could have tried using his good side, but apparently Yamato isn't biased enough to consider overturning with his good side.
• 914p9 - Looked at Koumei at 3 o'clock without turning his head with his good eye.
