Abstract

An ecological approach to binocular vision was already demonstrated in Wheatstone's initial stereograms and was explicitly called for by J. J. Gibson, but detailed analysis and experimentation supporting this approach has been more recent. This paper discusses several aspects of this more recent research on environmentally occurring spatial layouts that can influence binocular vision. These include gradients of depth and regions that can be seen by only one eye. The resolution of local stereoscopic ambiguity by more global factors is also discussed.
