Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Binocular disparity is the depth cue that is responsible for perceiving depth in ViewMasters™ and "3-D" movies. This is because this depth cue takes advantage of the small difference in the retinal images produced by the two eyes, which is enhanced and exaggerated in 3-D media to create the illusion of depth perception. The other options - motion parallax, accommodation, and relative height - are not typically used to create the illusion of depth in these types of media.
