Yep. But note that as we move our heads, information about the world tends
to be captured by both sides at different times (except, of course, when
sitting numbly in front of a screen), and moreover the posterior of the
corpus callosum connection between hemispheres, the splenium, exchanges
information between the two halves. So visual data is constantly integrated
across the hemispheres.
