Yep. It's what the human eye does: cones and rods. We know
how to handle this. My difficulty with MagicLenses--and most
other imaging schemes--is that they lack consistency. In the
real world we would go insane if our vision were not consistent.
This is what I like about Augment, and other great software views:
breadth, focus ... and consistency.
