Document Summary

Stereoscopic vision mechanisms that take into account differences in the images formed on the left and right eyes. Stereoscopic depth perception created by input from both eyes: 3d images left and right eyes receive slightly different images. Strabismus/ misalignment of the eyes visual system suppresses vision in one of the eyes to avoid double vision susan was crossed eyed, could only focus with one eye: trained stereovision^ Binocular disparity the differences on the images on the left and right retinas, is the basis of the stereoscopic vision. Corresponding retinal points points on the retina that overlap if the eyes are superimposed on each other. Horopter objects that fall on corresponding points are located on a surface. Non-corresponding points images of objects that are not on the horopter fall on non-corresponding points. Absolute disparity the degree to which these objects (on non- corresponding points) deviate from falling on corresponding points.
