3. Muller - Lyer Illusion

4. What theory does Gregory take up?

5. Muller-Lyer Illusion What theory does Gregory take up? –Thiery / Woodworth : Muller-Lyer figure “suggests perspective”

6. Muller-Lyer Illusion What theory does Gregory take up? –Thiery / Woodworth : Muller-Lyer figure “suggests perspective” –Is there something about the presence of pictorial depth cues in an image that distorts size?

7. Depth Cues and Size Distortion The Ponzo Illusion:

8. Depth Cues and Size Distortion The Ponzo Illusion:

9. Depth Cues and Size Distortion The illusion of depth in an image seems to distort the perception of size in the image This is due to misapplication of Size - Constancy

10. Pictures are Weird What does Gregory find paradoxical about pictures?

11. Pictures are Weird What does Gregory find paradoxical about pictures? Pictures convey depth yet appear flat

12. The Apparatus What does he do to remove the paradox so that the Muller-Lyer figure no longer looks flat?

13. The Apparatus

14. Removing the Background With background removed, Muller-Lyer figure actually looks 3D What prediction can you make about how the perceived size and the perceived distance of the center line are related?

15. Removing the Background With background removed, Muller-Lyer figure actually looks 3D What prediction can you make about how the perceived size and the perceived distance of the center line are related? When the centre line appears close,it should also appear small When the centre line appears far, it should also appear large

16. Removing the Background How did Gregory test that?

17. Removing the Background Perceived size and perceived distance are tightly related inward arrowheads make line look closer/ outward arrowheads make line look farther

18. Now on to Magic Eye Stereograms

19. Stereograms Left Eye Right Eye Divider Right eye sees face to the left; left eye sees face to the right therefore: faces present crossed disparity to the brain Face appears in front of square

20. Autostereograms Optically separate images aren’t needed

21. Autostereograms Optically separate images aren’t needed WARNING! Confusing stuff coming in the next slides

22. Autostereograms Optically separate images aren’t needed WARNING! Confusing stuff coming in the next slides Keep the definitions of convergence and disparity separate.

23. Autostereograms Convergence is on a point at the same distance as the images Boxes and faces are on the horopter How many boxes would you see? boxes and faces are on the horopter What would happen if you remove the divider of a stereoscope?

24. Autostereograms right-eye line of sight crosses left- eye line of sight in front of image (crossed convergence) each retina is now pointed at the opposite box How many boxes would you see? What would happen to the face? crossed convergence Now cross your eyes:

25. Autostereograms There would be three boxes middle box: right eye sees face shifted to right; left eye sees face shifted to left therefore: uncrossed disparity Face in the middle box appears behind square crossed convergence
