Actually it is positioned where you are being most alert. If you expect high vertical movement you will see horizontal vertical movement first. You are simply and naturally trained to expect horizontal movements most as that is the plane we live on. Peripheral vision is a mental marvel. redo the stupid university finger test while concentrating horizontally. Due to starting martial arts when I was five, if anything pointy is between what I am focussing on (the screen) and my eyes then my peripheral vision makes me whince/move my head and actually hurts my eyes. The other day I leant behind a computer and caught a glimpse of a shelf above in my peripheral. My natural reaction was to dip my head and head but that shelf. I laughed so hard. Peripheral vision has next to nothing to do with an immersive experience anyway. Hence Imax (4:3) is better for video. It varies per task.
