RATIONALE

Dr. King’s blog posts are attempts to introduce new ideas about visual perception. The appearance of these ideas on the web makes them widely available.  The posts consist of complete manuscripts and briefer notes.  To help in the evaluation of these ideas, comments on each post can be made.

AN ILLUSTRATIVE IDEA

Traditionally the effect of binocular disparity on perceived three-dimensional (3D) distance is explained geometrically.  Nevertheless, dichoptic images may be attracted toward each other while remaining on their individual lines of sight.  Then the perceived 3D distance as well as the angular direction to the ensuing diplopic objects would change.  The above figure helps to explain this idea.
