Space

gives the viewer a perception of death because of the distance between the two eyes

Stereoscopic vision

gives the viewer to images of the object then psychologically merges them into one image does giving the viewer a perception of depth or distance

Retinal disparity

it involves the movement of the eyes when looking at or viewing the object. it was observed that more ocular movements occur when the object is.

Kinetic vision

when objects are grouped not all parts of some objects will be seen. the tendency is objects that are near will be seen as complete or whole while objects that are far would be partly covered by the objects in front of them
