Does VR just enhance the 3D effect?

328 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?

Your brain uses all sorts of different cues to measure depth. Two of the most powerful are focus and parallax – neither of these exist in a normal single image. Now, you can do without them, especially if you’re used to looking at pictures and screens you may not even notice they’re missing, but they are. It feels very different for most people when they’re actually there.

In a binocular image you can have parallax. Still no focus, though.
