Question

Are random dot stereograms compromised by monocular position cues?

A) Yes, frequently compromised
B) No, never affected
C) Sometimes affected
D) Depends on the depth perception

Answer 1

Random dot stereograms rely on binocular cues and are not compromised by monocular position cues, as they require both eyes to perceive depth correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Random dot stereograms are not compromised by monocular position cues. These stereograms are specifically designed so that depth perception arises from binocular disparity without monocular cues. This means that while wearing 3-D glasses, each eye receives unique information that allows the brain to perceive three-dimensional depth from a two-dimensional image. If one were to look at a stereogram with only one eye, or without the glasses, the image would appear blurry and the depth effect would be lost, as it relies on the combined but slightly different images each eye sees. These depth perceptions are less about monocular cues and more about binocular cues, where both eyes must work together to perceive depth effectively.
