Document Summary
Binocular disparity is looking at the retinal image across both eyes and creating one image. Our visual system creates 3d images in space by combining these retinal images. To determine the difference between a monocular depth cue and a binocular depth cue, close one eye. If the image looks the same, it is a monocular depth cue. If the image looks different, it"s a binocular depth cue: be able to identify the difference between corresponding and noncorresponding retinal points. Corresponding retinal points occur when retinal images for objects a and b fall on the same location of the retina for each eye. Noncorresponding retinal points occur when retinal images for objects a and b fall on the opposite location of the retina for each eye. Cross disparity will occur when the objects are closer to you than the object you are looking at; the image will be pushed to the outside of the retina.
