Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kinetic cues involve using motion to determine depth. Pictorial cues involve using two-dimensional images to create the illusion of three-dimensional space. Retinal disparity refers to the difference between the images projected onto each retina, which helps to create a perception of depth. Visual expansion refers to the fact that objects appear to expand in size as they get closer to us, which is also used as a depth cue. However, in this scenario, Ntombi is specifically using motion to determine depth, making the correct answer choice (C) kinetic.
