Document Summary
Basic building blocks used to design more complicated 3 dimensional objects. Looking at something with right or left eye. Two eyes will have slightly different views on object. Combine them to figure out how far away something is. Your body knows degree to which your eyes are converging. Use this info to judge how far away an object is that you"re looking at. Your body changes the shape of the lens depending if you are looking at something close or far away. Limited only good for objects w/i a few feet or so. See object closer to you moving faster than objects farther away. Shape of near objects is going to cover up something farther away. Able to see detail of object you are looking at that is close. As you go farther away texture diminishes. Used to show something is moving away. Assume familiar objects are the same size, therefore smaller objects are farther away.
