Abstract

This article describes the physiological mechanisms involved in three-dimensional depth perception and presents a variety of distance and depth cues and strategies for detecting and estimating curbs and steps.

Experience of Monocular Vision in Australia

“…In contrast, the limited research in this area has found that people with monocular vision experience a range of perceptual problems that create difficulties in managing daily activities in such areas as mobility, work, prospects for employment, and living skills (Brady, 1994;Cooper, 2000;Gilberg, 1998;McKnight, Shinar, & Hilburn, 1991;O'Donnell & Smith, 1994;Schein, 1988;Schiff, 1980;Servos, Goodale, & Jakobson, 1992;Spring, 1992). People with this condition also experience high levels of fatigue and susceptibility to illness and stress, resulting from the continuous effort required to adjust to monocular vision (Schein, 1988).…”
