How does depth perception work?

Depth perception is the ability to perceive the world in three dimensions and judge distances between objects. It relies on various cues, including binocular cues, where both eyes work together to provide slightly different views of the same scene, and monocular cues, which involve information from a single eye, such as size, overlap, and perspective. The brain combines these visual inputs to create a coherent representation of depth. This process allows us to navigate our environment and interact with objects effectively.
