binocular
(adjective)
Using two eyes or viewpoints; especially using two eyes or viewpoints to ascertain distance.
Examples of binocular in the following topics:
-
Perceiving Depth, Distance, and Size
- Perception of depth, size, and distance is achieved using both monocular and binocular cues.
- Depth perception, size, and distance are ascertained through both monocular (one eye) and binocular (two eyes) cues.
- In binocular vision, these relative sizes are compared, since each individual eye is seeing a slightly different image from a different angle.
-
Perceiving Motion
- For this reason, binocular vision is better at perceiving motion from a distance.
- In binocular vision, both eyes are used together to perceive motion of an object by tracking the differences in size, location, and angle of the object between the two eyes.
-
Strabismus
- It typically involves a lack of coordination between the extraocular muscles, which prevents bringing the gaze of each eye to the same point in space and preventing proper binocular vision, which may adversely affect depth perception.
- As with other binocular vision disorders, the primary therapeutic goal for those with strabismus is comfortable, single, clear, normal binocular vision at all distances and directions of gaze.
-
Decisions, Decisions!
- Studying it with binoculars, you conclude that it would be a much better place to live.
-
Cézanne
- Additionally, Cézanne's desire to capture the truth of perception led him to explore binocular graphic vision.
-
Distortions of Space and Foreshortening
- ., binoculars), where it serves to eliminate the globe effect.
-
Microscopy
- Because of the manner by which light travels through the lenses, this system of two lenses produces an inverted image (binocular, or dissecting microscopes, work in a similar manner, but they include an additional magnification system that makes the final image appear to be upright).
-
Vision: The Visual System, the Eye, and Color Vision
- While depth perception is often attributed to binocular vision (vision from two eyes), it also relies heavily on monocular cues (cues from only one eye) to function properly.
