The type of vision shared by apes and human that allows depth perception
1 answer
The type of vision shared by apes and humans that allows depth perception is called binocular vision. Binocular vision is the ability to merge the slightly different images seen by each eye into a single three-dimensional image. It enables perception of depth and allows us to gauge the distance of objects accurately. Both apes and humans have forward-facing eyes, which are positioned relatively close together, enabling the overlap of the visual fields of both eyes and facilitating binocular vision.
