• Monocular Cues
• Interposition- If something is blocking our view, we perceive it as closer.
• Relative Size- If we know that two objects are similar size, the one that looks smaller is smaller away.
• Relative Clarity- We assume hazy objects are farther away.
• Texture Gradient- The coarser it looks the closer it is,
• Relative Height- Things higher in our field of vision look farther away.
• Liner Perspective- Dimmer objects appear farther away because they reflect less light,
• Phi Phenomenon- An illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in succession.
• Perceptual Consistency- Perceiving objects as unchanging even as illumination and retinal images changes.
