Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phenomenon described by Andy, in which each eye receives slightly different images resulting in the perception of depth, is called retinal disparity. Ocular accommodation refers to the process by which the lens of the eye adjusts its shape to focus on objects at different distances, and is not related to the perception of depth in a 3-D movie. A stroboscopic illusion involves the perception of motion resulting from a series of still images presented in rapid succession, and shape constancy refers to the perception of an object's shape as being constant despite changes in its appearance due to variations in viewing conditions.
