Add peripheral lighting to improve VR immersion
The entire purpose of virtual reality (VR) is to improve immersion beyond what can be achieved with a regular TV or monitor. So it can be frustrating to VR users when the darkness in their peripheral vision reminds them that they are, in fact, wearing a headset.

Shirish Agarwal: PLIO, Mum, Debconf, Pressure Cooker, RISC-V,
There is an RFP for it. While playing with it, I also discovered another benefit of the viewer, a sort of side-benefit, it tells you if any images have gone corrupt or whatever and you get that info. on the CLI so you can try viewing that image with the path using another viewer or viewers before deleting them. One of the issues is there doesn’t seem to be a magnify option by default. While the documentation says use the ^ key to maximize it, it doesn’t maximize. Took me a while to find it as that isn’t a key that I use most of the time. Ironically, that is the key used on the mobile quite a bit. Anyways, so that needs to be fixed. Sadly, it doesn’t have creation date or modification date sort, although the documentation does say it does (at least the modification date) but it doesn’t show at my end. I also got Warning: UNKNOWN command detected! but that doesn’t tell me enough as to what the issue is. Hopefully the developer will fix the issues and it will become part of Debian as many such projects are. Compiling was dead easy even with gcc-12 once I got freeimage-dev.
