Chapter 6 deals with how individuals perceive depth once again this is going to be different for everyone and every eye. This essay will reflect on many of my own thoughts and questions that pertain to this chapter. To begin with I find it interesting that ciliary muscles in and around our eye help to determine our depth. Other cues that exist determine our depth is the monocular and binocular cues. I find these two cues difficult to understand. What exactly is a monocular cue? What exactly is the binocular cue? I understand that one deals with one eye and the other deals with two eyes, very basic grasp I know. So a greater clarification on these two concepts would be helpful. The concept of accommodation allows for us to focus and view the

The objects above eye level would be the two ceiling lights, and TV mounted on the wall. In both cases all these objects would be considered close to me. Is this a correct depiction of this concept? What I feel I don't understand is how are objects both below and above eye level considered just as close? Also how is that we can look at objects let's say above eye level and say one is higher and one is lower? My solution to this is that are eyes would see depth of retinal images …show more content…
In my mind this makes sense the closer the object is the larger the object will look. As you increase your distance from the object in this case the painting the smaller it will look because you're farther away. Would you say this is a good example of size perspective? Can you come up with any of your own examples as well? Size is just one example that helps me able to understand the concept of how depth works with in retinal
