AND PERCEPTION
Perception is the process by which wo organize and interpret the patterns of stimu in our
environment, the immediate intuitive recognition, as of an aesthetic quality
The separation of two lines placed end to and can be perceived more readity than the separa

attention. In so doing, two different types of vision are used STEREOSCOPIC and KINES.
THETIC, Having two eyes set slightly apart for each other, man sees two different views of
the object world at the same time
The term STEREOSCOPIC is applied to his ability to overtap these views, which are slightly
citferert, into one image. This visual process created an illusion of three-cimensianal death,
making it possible to judge distances.
One of the most frequently employed types of infor
arises from ‘Retinal Disparity’ or unlikeness of the ret
