All Cues Combined
The perceptual system may
infer the distance to the
pyramid from convergence
information about the
cylinderΓÇÖs distance and retinal
disparity information about the
depth between the cylinder and
the pyramid.
Now that we have considered
each possible cue to depth
separately, we can ask the
question of how the cues might
work collectively in order to
yield perception of the third
dimension in daily life. We do
not know the answer to this
question. We can only surmise
on the basis of logical
considerations and general
observations. For example, it is
plausible to infer that the
availability of several cues
would lead to more reliable and
accurate perception than just
the availability of a single cue.
Thus it is probable that the
joint action of the oculomotor
cues and stereopsis is quite
effective at relatively near
distances and more so than any
one of these in isolation from
the others. It is probable that
when all known pictorial cues
are present in a scene (or
picture) the depth effect is
stronger than when only one
such cue is present.
Stereograms based on
photographs containing
pictorial cues are more
effective than those based only
on geometrical line drawings.
Moving pictures add depth to
"frozen" static displays
undoubtedly by virtue of the
kinetic depth effect and
motion-perspective effects they
produce. Stereo movies
approach the depth achieved
under natural conditions in
daily life.
