binocular cues
Binocular cues are visual signals our brain uses to judge distances and depth, relying on both eyes working together. The main binocular cues are stereopsis, which comes from the slight difference in images seen by each eye (called binocular disparity), allowing us to perceive three-dimensional depth. Convergence is another cue, where our eyes turn inward when focusing on nearby objects, providing information about proximity. Together, these cues help us accurately interpret the spatial relationship of objects around us, enabling tasks like grasping objects or judging distances in our environment.
