Document Summary

Cue approach to depth perception: focuses on identifying information in the retinal image that is correlated with depth in the scene. Occlusion: cue that one object is in front of another. Learn connection between cue and depth through our previous experience with the environment. Oculomotor: cues based on our ability to sense the position of our eyes and the tension in our eye muscles. Monocular: cues that work with one eye. Binocular: cues that depend on two eyes. Convergence: inward movement of the eyes that occurs when we look at nearby objects. Accommodation: change in the shape of the lens that occurs when we focus on objects at various distances. We can feel the inward movement of the eyes and the tightening of eye muscles. Convergence and accommodation indicate when an object gets close and are useful up to a distance of about arm"s length, with convergence being the more effective of the two.
