Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Depth perception is indeed the ability to perceive the world in three dimensions (3D) and to judge the distance of objects. It relies on various visual cues that can be either binocular (involving both eyes, such as stereopsis) or monocular (involving one eye, such as size and perspective cues), which affect how objects are perceived on the retina, where the sensory receptor cells (rods and cones) are located. These cues help the brain to interpret the size, shape, and distance of objects in our environment.
