Speed, Pursuit, M/P Ratio, and Depth (Visual Depth Perception 16)
Speed, Pursuit, M/P Ratio, and Depth (Visual Depth Perception 16)
This Demonstration shows absolute depth from your choice of pursuit rate and motion/pursuit ratio for the case of a fixate and distractor on the axis and an observer moving at 6.5 cm/sec (interocular distance per second) to the right on the axis. The retinal motion rate of "Speed, Motion, Pursuit, and Depth (Visual Depth Perception 15)" is the geometric input, but experiments show that the brain uses the motion/pursuit ratio, so this Demonstration allows you to vary that quantity directly.
