Monocular Depth Cues

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Monocular depth cues require only one eye and include relative size, interposition, linear perspective, and texture gradient.

Show

A photograph conveys depth convincingly despite being a flat surface viewed with both eyes.

Watch for

Losing one eye removes binocular cues and leaves depth perception largely intact at distance.
