(16) This prediction was confirmed by the experimental determination of chromatic parallax for two commercially available achromatizing lenses.
(17) The hypothesis was tested that the coupling of parallax shifts between objects depicted on a monitor screen around a fixation point with the head movements of an observer viewing this screen monocularly around a point coinciding with the fixation point is sufficient to create a convincing depth impression and to enable the observer to make reliable estimations of depth.
(18) Traditionally, parallax disparities refer to points that are well defined within the objects, such as edges or boundaries.
(19) Additional experiments indicated that the deficit in performance by MS cats was not reduced either by the administration of amphetamine or by increases in cues for motion parallax.
(20) The next step was to demonstrate that parallax is also significant as a way of segmenting the visual scene into separate objects.
