Binocular Disparity
Binocular Disparity
The difference in viewpoint between your two eyes due to their physical separation.
Binocular Disparity Needed for Depth Perception
Binocular Disparity Needed for Depth Perception
True. Without binocular disparity, the brain has less information to judge depth.
Stereopsis
Stereopsis
The perception of depth provided by binocular disparity; how your brain uses the differences between the two eye's images.

Study Notes
Binocular Disparity
- Refers to the slight difference in viewpoints between the two eyes due to their physical separation.
- Essential for depth perception; without it, depth perception would be significantly impaired.
Binocular Disparity and Stereopsis
- Stereopsis relies on the information about depth from binocular disparity.
- Horizontal disparity is a critical input for stereopsis; it is the sole cue used.
- Vertical disparity does not contribute to stereopsis.
Additional Information on Binocular Disparity
- Refers to the differences in visual images received by each eye.
- The brain utilizes binocular disparity to interpret depth information about objects.
- Considered the most significant cue for depth perception.
Classic Stereopsis Mechanism
- Based on the principle that two physical points in space at varying distances produce different retinal disparities in the two pairs of binocular images.
