  2. 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 ...

  3. Kinetic depth effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_depth_effect

    In visual perception, the kinetic depth effect is the phenomenon whereby the three-dimensional structural form of an object can be perceived when the object is moving. In the absence of other visual depth cues , this might be the only perception mechanism available to infer the object's shape.

  4. Macropsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macropsia

    The following criteria are required to classify an event as an inattentional blindness episode: 1) the observer must fail to notice a visual object or event, 2) the object or event must be fully visible, 3) observers must be able to readily identify the object if they are consciously perceiving it, [3] and 4) the event must be unexpected and the failure to see the object or event must be due ...

  7. Stereokinetic stimulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereokinetic_stimulus

    Stereokinetic stimulus, stereokinetic depth, stereokinetic illusion is an illusion of depth induced by moving two-dimensional stimuli. [ 1 ] A stereokinetic stimuli generates 3D perception based on 2D rotational motion. [ 2 ]

  8. Spatial disorientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_disorientation

    Spatial disorientation is the inability to determine position or relative motion, commonly occurring during periods of challenging visibility, since vision is the dominant sense for orientation.

  9. Micropsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropsia

    Micropsia is a condition affecting human visual perception in which objects are perceived to be smaller than they actually are. Micropsia can be caused by optical factors (such as wearing glasses), by distortion of images in the eye (such as optically, via swelling of the cornea or from changes in the shape of the retina such as from retinal edema, macular degeneration, or central serous ...
