Depth

• Pictorial Cues to Depth.  Manipulate pictorial cues to depth to see how they influence your depth perception (Try Monocular Depth Cues from ISLE)
• Motion Parallax.  See how motion parallax provides a cue to depth. (Try Motion Parallax Illustrated and Motion Parallax Explained from ISLE)
• Vergence.  See how vergence provided a depth cue. (Try Vergence from ISLE)
• Disparity.  An illustration of how disparity arises as object move away from the object of regard. (Try Binocular Disparity from ISLE)
• Binocular Disparity and the Horopter.  Illustration of the horopter, the region of zero disparity in space where objects fall on corresponding locations of the two retinas. (Try the Horoper from ISLE)
• Types of Binocular Disparity.  Illustration of the difference between crossed and uncrossed disparity. (Try Crossed vs Uncrossed Disparity from ISLE)
• Stereopsis.  Illustration of stereopsis.  Requires anaglyph glasses. (Try Anaglyph Stereograms, which does require the glasses, or Stereo Jitter, which does not require glasses, from ISLE)
• Random Dot Stereograms.  Illustration of random element stereograms.  Requires anaglyph glasses. (Try Random Dot Stereograms from ISLE)
• Panum's Fusional Area.  Illustration of the limited region in space where binocular fusion (seeing a single image arising from both eyes) is possible.  For illustration purposes, this fusional area is 10 times the size it is in actuality. (Try Panum's Area of Fusion from ISLE)
• Binocular Suppression and Rivalry.  Illustration of binocular suppression, where the image from one eye blocks the perception of the image from the other eye, and binocular rivalry, where the images from the two eye are alternatively seen.
