Unit 4: Depth Perception 2

We rely on binocular vision to

• perceive depth
• see colors
• understand optical illusions
• see motion

Binocular vision

• overlapping fields of vision from two eyes
• eyes and brain working together to determine what an object is
• what we see is different than what the brain "expects" to see
• brain remembering images for a short time and combining them

After light hits our photoreceptors it is translated into _____ and sent to the brain

• magnetic impulses
• electrical impulses
• colors
• images

Depth cues that only require one require one eye are

• Binocular Cue
• Trichronocular Cue
• Monocular Cue
• Single Vision Transparency

The process of bringing meaning to the raw data your senses take in is called ________.

• perception

• sensation

• adaptation

• habituation

________ depth cues require the use of both eyes.

• Linear perspective
• Binocular
• Accommodating
• Monocular

A binocular cue that allows for depth perception when images from the two eyes differ 

• Relative size 
• Color Constancy
• Linear perception
• Retinal Disparity

This is an example of what type of monocular depth cue?

• Texture gradient

• Linear perspective

• interposition

• motion parallax

A 3-D movie enhances our sense of depth perception by simulating the effects of

• interposition.
• retinal disparity.
• perceptual constancy. 
• gestalt cues.

When the brain detects that the tension in the eye muscles is changing as the eyes turn inwards

• convergence

• Monocular depth cue

• accommodation

• retinal disparity
