Document Summary

Psy1101 depth perception this is the ability to see objects in 3d although the images that strike the retina are 2d; allows us to judge distance. Binocular cues these are depth cues, such as retinal disparity, that depend on the use of 2 eyes. When you only have 1 eye focusing on the object it becomes more difficult. 3d movies use 2 cameras to create retinal disparity when wearing the 3d glasses (l eye sees l camera film and r eye sees r camera film) Monocular cues these are depth cues, that allow us to differentiate whether a person is 10 or. 100 meters away from us, these are available to each eye separately. Usually the mind perceives shrinking objects retreating and enlarging objects approaching. Our brain perceives a rapid series of slightly varying images as continuous movements (stroboscopic movement)
