Document Summary

Phenomenon in which a visual percepion alternates between the diferent images presented to the eyes. Very small diferences between the two eyes yield stereopsis interchangeable with depth vision (esimaion of depth: stereopsis. Disparity of images from the two eyes allow the esimaion of depth. Without stereopsis depth esimaion is severely impaired. Remember magic eye : it is an example of an autostereogram. Green (binocular visual ield - 70 degree arc) Stare at midpoint see gradings disinct from eachother. If binocular vision didn"t exsist, two images would combine to one. Alternaing perspecive due to ime sharing between let and right eye. Brain constructs an image independently for each eye, at diferent point in ime. Right eye seeing one perspecive, and the let sees another perspecive, never see the same perspecive. Depth percepion being able to see an image hidden in the depth of the picture. Eye dominance, one eye"s percepion is dominant over the other.
