1. In pairs... Arrange the counters on the table in front of you. One person must cover one eye and the other must nominate a counter for her to touch. Touch the counter by bringing your index finger down upon it vertically.

2. We are learning about...We are learning how to... Monocular depth cues Dynamic MDCs (visual flow; parallax) Static (pictorial) MDCs Use technical terms to describe familiar phenomena Notice things that are psychologically relevant

3. Monocular depth cues convey information about the distance of features of the environment. They do not rely on using both eyes. – Dynamic – info comes from movement – Static/pictorial – movement not necessary

4. Visual flow (dynamic) Distant objects appear to move slowly and accelerate as they draw nearer

5. Parallax (dynamic) Distant objects appear to move past slowly and closer objects faster.

6. Static (pictorial) MDCs A B How do we know that B is further from us than A? (c) DarkRay. http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/pb/160d76/6818a/

7. Relative size A B

8. Relative brightness A B

9. Overlap A B

10. Linear perspective A B

11. Aerial perspective A B

12. Height in horizontal plane A B

13. Think about your journey to school this morning. Identify the depth cues that gave you information about where things were. Try to identify an example of each of the binocular and monocular depth cues we have learned about.

14. Homework Take photographs of your environment to illustrate the different static monocular depth cues we have learned about
