The Architecture of Space

The depiction of depth is known to artists since the renaissance. All artists since Alberti use monocular (i.e. one eyed) depth cues to visualise space and depth. Monocular depth cues are scale, perspective, interposition, texture gradient, shade.

In stereo vision the artists uses additionally binocular (i.e. two eyed) depth cues. There is actually just one binocular depth cue : the parallax effect, due to the shift of camera/eye position.
