Likewise. My first thought there was how it applied to martial arts. I've been told by a sparring partner to 'look at me' when sparring once, making me more aware of how I 'deconcentrate' my field of vision to take in all limbs and forms of attack, including those from others sparring around us. It's probably seen as a lack of attention by some, but it is quite the opposite. I also suspect a little distraction technique in asking me to think about where I'm looking as it was quite a 'dominating' sparring partner who made the request. I noticed various sensais have suggested this kind of perception in their teaching also, asking us to look at the chest area and rely on peripheral vision etc. in certain exercises. No doubt other disciplines require this also. I wonder if target range activities would benefit or not from this kind of 'live peripheral data feed'.
