Preferred term

depth perception  

Definition

  • Depth perception is the ability of observers to discriminate the distances of objects, particularly their relative distances, and identify the three-dimensional shape of surfaces. This entry concentrates on sources of visual information contributing to depth perception and separates these into two main types: those that apply when the viewer stands still with one eye closed (pictorial cues) and those that come into play when the viewer moves or opens the other eye. [Source: Encyclopedia of the Mind; Depth Perception]
