With the right equipment, would walking backwards seem natural?

Asked by LostInParadise (31916points) July 21st, 2018

I read somewhere that if people are given glasses that turn images upside down, they eventually are able to adjust and then have to readjust when the glasses are removed.

Imagine wearing a helmet with lenses that show you what is behind you. Initially, what is behind you will appear to be in front of you, but if you walk forward, the image becomes smaller. Do you think it would eventually become to walk backwards toward what you see, perhaps to the extent that you would have to readjust once the helmet is removed?
