Relative Size : Adjust the size of the two middle circles. Notice both the changes in the apparent depth and the perceived sizes. You can select from the following pictorial depth cues add them to this scene and see how they might alter the way you perceive the circles.
Choose from: Relative Height : causes the left-most circle to move down and the right-most circle to move up. Shadow : Add a shadow to the two outer circles to simulate that they are off of the screen. Absolute threshold of sensation. The vestibular system, balance, and dizziness.

Video transcript Voiceover: How is perception organized? Well, whenever we look at anything, we need to make inferences. One of the things that we can do is take into account depth. Depth allows us to get an idea of how far away something is, how close something is, and just it adds to our perception of objects.
In order for us to take into account depth of objects, we can use a few different tricks. The first thing that we can immediately notice is that humans have two eyes. We have binocular vision.
Binocular vision basically gives us something known as retinal disparity, retinal disparity. For example, let's imagine you're at a bowling alley. When you're looking at some pins, your left eye sees the pin, the bowling pins in this angle, and your right eye sees them in this angle, and your brain takes these two images, puts them together, and gives you this image over here.
This allows us, this gives us some degree of depth of what we're looking at. That's retinal disparity. Another way that our two eyes help us take depth into account is something known as convergence. This basically is trying to say that when we're looking at things really far away, the muscles in our eyes are fairly relaxed. When we're looking at something really close to us, the muscles in our eyes turn our eyeballs towards the object.
Our brain is able to look at how much the eyeballs are turned in order to give us another kind of depth cue. As we have seen, there are limits to size constancy.
Cars look like small toys as we get high enough during take off so tall when we see him from far away. For example, consider talking to a friend. You see her as the same size if she is standing 6 feet away from you or if she is standing 3 feet away from you. If she is standing 6 feet away and suddenly takes a step closer to you, you do not see her grow, even though her visual angle is now twice as large on your retina. Thus, size constancy usually allows us to see objects as not changing in size.
