Does VR just enhance the 3D effect?

330 viewsBiologyOther

For example, I can look at a 3D animation on my phone, and my brain will somehow interrpet that the depth in the animation, even though im watching it on 2d screen.

Then, the way to make it more 3d, is to view it through vr, because binocular vision gives the effect of depth?

ie. vr headset has 2 screens for left and right eye, and it enhances the 3D effect?

I wouldn’t say it “just enhances the 3D effect”

Because at the end of the day VR is 100% true 3D images.

The way you perceive the real world as 3D in the first place is by getting a slightly different image for each eye as you move throughout space, and a few other more subtle clues that you alluded to with 2D images (stuff like, shadows, different sizes of identical objects base on distance, etc).

Assuming the VR headset is high quality enough and running correctly then as far as your brain is concerned that IS 3D. If it’s just a “3D effect” then *reality itself* is also just a 3D effect, it’s just one that been on for your entire life.
