Document Summary

Sources of information from the environment or from within the body that helps us perceive how far away objects are. Depth cues that require both eyes to provide information about depth and distance. The slight difference in the images received by the retina. Monocular depth cues depth cues that only requires one eye to provide information about depth and distance. The automatic focusing of the lens in the eye to adjust the shape of the lens in response to differing distances of view from the object. The act of bulging or elongating; the further the object is, the less accomodation occurs. Depth cues used to portray depth and distance on a 2d surface. Interposition, linear perspective, texture gradient, relative size, height in the visual field. Partially obscured objects are perceived as being further away. Vase being in front of a book, vase is closer. The apparent convergence of straight "parallel" lines into the distance.
