What would you see if your eyeballs were opposite each other?

Watching one of the Treehouse of Horror episodes from The Simpsons, where Bart and Lisa gain super-powers. Lisa gets super-strength and Bart can stretch. Like where Bart's eyes stretch out and stare at each other in the eye.

In other words, if your Left eye is looking directly at your Right eye, and vice versa. What would you see?

You can approximate this effect by placing a mirror in front of your eye and covering the other eye over ;) Although in reality the feeling would probably be vastly different as your brain would be seeing images from two dramatically different angles at once and would be struggling to combine them together causing all kinds of weird effects.

Particularly would would be very likely to experience a distortion of perception, that is, you would probably be unable to tell which way you were facing and your coordination would be severely distorted as well. It's all to do with the limits of self perception, I mean I'm not a psychologist by any means, but that's from my understanding of vision anyway :)
