Retinal Disparity: Used for perceiving depth; difference between the two images the retina receives of an object, the closer the object is to the viewer.

Interposition: 1 object blocks the view of another.

Texture Gradient: Coarse, distinct texture is closer than the fine indistinct texture.

Relative Size: Assumption that 2 objects are of similar size 1 closer has larger retinal image.

Relative Height: Objects higher in field of vision appear farther away; vertical dimensions appear longer than horizontal dimensions.

Relative Clarity: Perception that hazy objects are farther away than sharp objects.

Linear Perspective: Parallel lines appear to converge in distance.

Light & Shadow: Nearby objects reflect more light into eyes; Dimmer objects appear farther away.

Figure Ground: Organize information into a figure seen against a ground.

Continuity: See smooth continuous patterns.
