Document Summary

The process of adjusting the lens of the eye so that both near and far objects can be seen. The inward bending of the eyes when looking at closer objects give reliable distance of objects perception. Information about depth that can be inferred from a static picture give info about depth and distance. Cues about depth that can be seen with a single eye in which the inference of distance comes from motion moving objects allow us to make inferences about depth and distance. A visual cue that occurs when one object partially hides or obstructs the view of a second object; we infer that the hidden object is farther away from us than the object that obstructs it. A visual cue in which objects closer to the horizon are seen as more distant. The fact that the more distant an object, the smaller the image will be on the retina.
