Document Summary

Recall: problem with depth we have a 3-dimensional world, but a 2-dimensional proximal stimulation (retina) Visual angle tells you: actual size of an object, how far away in depth an object is. The way objects seem to move is based on how far away they are. If object is close to you things move opposite direction than you are. If object is farther away things seem to be moving with you. Object further away is being hidden (deleted) and accreted by closer object moving. Looming object seems to get larger and larger as it gets closer to you. Experiments with babies object on computer screen gets bigger, baby moves further away (afraid of getting hit by said object) Require two eyes comparison between the left eye image and the right eye image. Each eye has a slightly different perspective of the world. This difference between the eyes can be a cue to depth.
