Description: Different elements that helps us see objects in 3D
How the Human Brain sees 3D
Position of eyes
- Creates different pathways responsible for imaging at various angles
- The eyes process motion, color, depth
Image processing at different speeds
- One eye signals at slow speed
- The other eye signals it quicker
- The signals travel along 2 different nueropathways in the brain
Depth
- 3D vision can be achieved when we see 2D objects at 2 seprate but constant angles
- Called as Binocular disparity
Stereoscopic Vision
- It is the ability to perceive depth through
Patterns in visual cortex
- When the brain sees an image, they create an activity along the visual cortex
- This causes 2D rendering of the image
- The depth dimension is added later
Pathways in the cortex
- Dorsal Pathway
- Ventral Pathway
- Both pathways together provide constant stream of vision
