Document Summary

Oculomotor - cues based on our ability to sense the position of our eyes and the tension in our eye muscles. Monocular - cues based on the visual information available within one eye. Binocular - cues that depend on visual information within both eyes. !1: pictorial cues - sources of depth information in a two-dimensional picture, movement-based cues - sources of depth information created by movement. Wednesday, february 21, 2018 pictorial cues: occlusion - when one object hides or partially hides another from view. Being higher in the eld of view causes objects on the ground to appear farther away, and being lower causes in sky to appear farther: familiar and relative size. Familiar size - when we judge distance based on our prior knowledge of the sizes of objects (most effective when other information about depth is absent) Wednesday, february 21, 2018: deletion and accretion.
