depth cues

Question 1

convergence

Answer 1

our brain detects the depth and distance of an image from changes in tension from eye muscles.

Question 2

retinal disparity

Answer 2

due to our eyes being 6-7cm apart our brain detects the difference and similarities bwtween the infrommation sent from each eye. The greater the difference the closer the informatoni

Question 3

accomodation

Answer 3

the automatic focusing mechanism of the lens to adjust to the distance of the object

Question 4

interposition

Answer 4

When one object is partly obscured by another we can tell that the object doing the covering is closer.

Question 5

linear perspective

Answer 5

the convergence of parallel lines as they recede into the distance

Question 6

texture gradient

Answer 6

the gradual deterioation of detail over distance

Question 7

relative size

Answer 7

the tendency to perceive objects that are larger are closer and smaller are at a distance.

Question 8

heigh in the visual field

Answer 8

the location of objects in our field of vision, closer to the horizon is further way.

Question 9

what does depth cues do

Answer 9

the retina sees 2d images but through depth cues we perceive them as 3d.

Question 10

what are depth cues

Answer 10

depth cues are visual signals that allow us to perceive the distance and depth of an object
