Have the dinosaurs notice the player in first person mode

I think it would be much more immersive if the dinosaurs could notice the player in first person mode.

Dinosaurs are alert to their surroundings in the game, often making eye contact with other dinosaurs, vehicles, or guests, and may attempt to intimidate unwanted threats be it competition, disliked species, or vehicles.

Yet in first person mode, as silly as it sounds, I feel very much ignored in comparison to how the dinosaurs would interact with the in game world.

Which is odd because the dinosaurs DO know you are there, as the developers made it so they walk around you and not collide with the player, which hilariously makes the experience feel less like a magical prehistoric experience and more like the "cool kids" clique ignoring you in high school by avoiding all forms of eye contact and acknowledgment of the players presence.

I want to suggest that the dinosaurs could at least look at the player if they get close enough, and may even attempt to communicate by bellowing, chirping, or calling towards the player if they get too close for a period.

This would make the experience much more immersive, as not only is the player up close to the dinosaur, but the dinosaurs also see the player walking around in their exhibit.

While there is no real threat to the player in first person mode, I think it would be just as cool if certain animals could only tolerate the player so much and would dash to the player and attempt to scare them by roaring, snapping, and hissing at the intruder, similar to how they would scare off the ranger vehicles visiting their enclosure.

It would be a nice interaction the player could experience, especially in first person mode, imagine walking in the enclosure at night with the flashlight on, and then suddenly seeing two rows of sharp teeth snapping right at you. It would be a nice jump reminding you how dangerous some of your animals are.

If such a feature could be added, I think it would be nice if it could be enabled and disabled in the game's settings incase players want the dinosaurs to ignore the player completely, similar to how they function in the game currently, for players wanting to observe the dinosaurs akin to a documentary.
