How does binocular disparity contribute to depth perception?
It allows us to determine relative distances between closer and farther objects based on their relative sizes on the retina.
It helps distinguish light from dark areas giving the impression of depth based on shadows and highlights.
It provides two different images for the brain which it combines into a single image with depth cues.
It creates an illusionary third dimension from a flat surface with certain patterns drawn on it.
