  2. Visual cliff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cliff

    During early development, infants begin to crawl, sit, and walk. These actions impact how the infants view depth perception. Thus, infant studies are an important part of the visual cliff. When an infant starts to engage in crawling, to sit, or walking, they use perception and action. During this time, infants begin to develop a fear of height.

  3. Random dot stereogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_dot_stereogram

    The discovery of the random dot stereogram was intriguing not just for its ability to create depth sensations in printed images but also for its implications in cognitive science and the study of perception. The random dot stereogram provided insight on how stereo vision is processed by the human brain. According to Ralph Siegel, Julesz had ...

  4. Depth perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception

    Depth perception is the ability to perceive distance to objects in the world using the visual system and visual perception. It is a major factor in perceiving the world in three dimensions . Depth sensation is the corresponding term for non-human animals, since although it is known that they can sense the distance of an object, it is not known ...

  5. Stereoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy

    Stereoscopy creates the impression of three-dimensional depth from a pair of two-dimensional images. [5] Human vision, including the perception of depth, is a complex process, which only begins with the acquisition of visual information taken in through the eyes; much processing ensues within the brain, as it strives to make sense of the raw information.

  6. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    Vision of 6/12 corresponds to lower performance, while vision of 6/3 to better performance. Normal individuals have an acuity of 6/4 or better (depending on age and other factors). In the expression 6/x vision, the numerator (6) is the distance in metres between the subject and the chart and the denominator (x) the distance at which a person ...

  7. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    The visual system performs a number of complex tasks based on the image forming functionality of the eye, including the formation of monocular images, the neural mechanisms underlying stereopsis and assessment of distances to (depth perception) and between objects, motion perception, pattern recognition, accurate motor coordination under visual ...

  8. Stereoscopic acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopic_acuity

    Example of a Snellen-like depth test. Since the Howard-Dolman test described above is cumbersome, stereoacuity is usually measured using a stereogram in which separate panels are shown to each eye by superimposing them in a stereoscope using prisms or goggles with color or polarizing filters or alternating occlusion. [3]

  9. Stereoblindness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoblindness

    Stereoblindness (also stereo blindness) is the inability to see in 3D using stereopsis, or stereo vision, resulting in an inability to perceive stereoscopic depth by combining and comparing images from the two eyes. Individuals with only one functioning eye have this condition by definition since the visual input of the second eye does not exist.
