This book aims to transform the way we think about visual perception by studying our ability to see the world in depth with one eye. The book considers and critiques the leading accounts of this phenomenon provided by cognitive psychology, before advancing an alternative account grounded in visual optics. The book forces us to reconsider the relationship between perception and cognition, the possibility of absolute rather than merely relative depth, and the implications of monocular perception for virtual reality. It will be of great interest to students and researchers in the fields of psychology and vision science, philosophy of mind, and technologists and content creators working in displays, film, and virtual reality.
