The type of vision shared by apes and humans that allows depth perception is called binocular vision. Binocular vision is the ability to merge the slightly different images seen by each eye into a single three-dimensional image. It enables perception of depth and allows us to gauge the distance of objects accurately. Both apes and humans have forward-facing eyes, which are positioned relatively close together, enabling the overlap of the visual fields of both eyes and facilitating binocular vision.
The type of vision shared by apes and humans that allows depth perception is known as binocular vision. Binocular vision is a visual perception that is achieved by combining the images that each eye sees, allowing us to perceive depth and 3D objects. This is possible because our eyes are positioned frontally, with overlapping fields of view, which provides the brain with slightly different perspectives on the same object. The brain then processes this information to create a single, unified and three-dimensional perception of the world around us. This ability is vital for tasks such as judging distances, navigating our surroundings, and interacting with objects in our environment.
