[net.med] Depth Perception

stan (01/25/83)

Depth perception by triangulation is not used for objects beyond
about 20 feet away.  At that distance and beyond, one judges distance
by the size of an object or its rate of change of size.

I think it's safe to say that no one uses "two eye" depth perception
for driving.
