Monocular Cues (cont.) Katie

-Interposition: When one object blocks out the view of another, we think that object is closer. For example, we see in this photo that the green triangle is the farthest away and the yellow circle is the closest. We perceive it this way because of how the shapes overlap.

-Texture gradient:When the texture of an object changes, our perception of how far away it is changes. For example, in the photo below, the more widely spaced rows make us see that they are close. The more densely packed rows make us see that they are farther away.

-Linear perspective: When parallel lines cover more of an area, they are far away. In the photo below, you can see the depth perception of the bridge because of how the lines are more condensed in the center of the photo. This makes us see the depth in the picture.
