  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. Stereoscopic acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopic_acuity

    A good procedure is a chart, analogous to the familiar Snellen visual acuity chart, in which one letter in each row differs in depth (front or behind) sequentially increasing in difficulty. For children the fly test is ideal: the image of a fly is transilluminated by polarized light; wearing polarizing glasses the wing appears at a different ...

  4. Random dot stereogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_dot_stereogram

    The TNO random dot stereotest (short: TNO stereo test or TNO test) is similar to the randot stereotest but is an anaglyph in place of a vectograph; that is, the patient wears red-green glasses (in place of the polarizing glasses used in the randot stereotest). Like other random dot stereotests, the TNO test offers no monocular clues. [4]

  5. Stereoscopic depth rendition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopic_Depth_Rendition

    The stereoscopic depth rendition r is a measure of the flattening or expansion in depth for a display situation and is equal to the ratio of the angles of depth and width subtended at the eye in the stereogram reconstruction of a small cubical element. A value r > 1 says that what is seen has an expanded depth relative to the actual configuration.

  6. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    Manual hand eye test in Ghana (2018) Visual acuity is measured by a psychophysical procedure and as such relates the physical characteristics of a stimulus to a subject's percept and their resulting responses. Measurement can be taken by using an eye chart invented by Ferdinand Monoyer, by optical instruments, or by computerized tests [11] like ...

  7. 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.

  8. Visual cliff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cliff

    The visual cliff is an apparatus created by psychologists Eleanor J. Gibson and Richard D. Walk at Cornell University to investigate depth perception in human and other animal species. It consists of a sturdy surface that is flat but has the appearance of a several-foot drop part-way across.

  9. Infant visual development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infant_visual_development

    The major components of the visual system can be broken up into visual acuity, depth perception, color sensitivity, and light sensitivity. By providing a better understanding of the visual system, future medical treatments for infant and pediatric ophthalmology can be established. By additionally creating a timeline on visual perception ...
