Overview
Binocular cues are essential for depth perception, allowing us to navigate our environment effectively. By using both eyes, we can perceive depth through mechanisms like stereopsis, retinal disparity, and convergence. These cues are vital in everyday activities such as driving, sports, and even virt...

Example: Depth perception allows you to catch a ball thrown at you.
Example: Stereopsis helps you see a 3D movie.
Example: Retinal disparity is why you can see depth when looking at a close object.
Example: When you look at your nose, your eyes converge.
Example: Shadows can be visual cues for depth.
