binocular

Examples of binocular in the following topics:

• Perceiving Depth, Distance, and Size

  • Perception of depth, size, and distance is achieved using both monocular and binocular cues.
  • Depth perception, size, and distance are ascertained through both monocular (one eye) and binocular (two eyes) cues.
  • In binocular vision, these relative sizes are compared, since each individual eye is seeing a slightly different image from a different angle.

• Perceiving Motion

  • For this reason, binocular vision is better at perceiving motion from a distance.
  • In binocular vision, both eyes are used together to perceive motion of an object by tracking the differences in size, location, and angle of the object between the two eyes.

• Vision: The Visual System, the Eye, and Color Vision

  • While depth perception is often attributed to binocular vision (vision from two eyes), it also relies heavily on monocular cues (cues from only one eye) to function properly.
