Quote - just thinking out loud here - isnt the retina of the eye a convex "sensor"? why dont they create something similar - then all that lark about light not hitting the edge at the same angle as the centre would be nulled...

obviously you would need a new set of lenses to disperse the light like that .. it must be somewhat optically possible or do we actually see slightly out of focus on our periphery?

Our eye has a fixed focal length for all intents and purposes. The curvature of your eye corresponds to this focal length. For a camera that would mean that for every focal length you'd need a different sensor, or a sensor that can be adjusted to match the focal length.
