Question: 1 / 530

What are monocular cues?

Cues for depth that require two eyes to perceive

Cues for depth available to either eye alone

Monocular cues are visual signals that allow for depth perception based on input from just one eye. These cues are essential for understanding depth and distance in our environment. They include various attributes such as relative size, linear perspective, interposition, texture gradient, and motion parallax, all of which can be interpreted even when viewing with only one eye.

This characteristic of monocular cues distinguishes them from binocular cues, which indeed require the coordination and input from both eyes to effectively judge depth and distance. Monocular cues are particularly useful in situations where one eye may be blocked or when objects are viewed from a greater distance, making them fundamental in everyday visual experiences.
