Depth clues

This page shows a number of depth cues in 3d rendering separately. The images may seem weird since a realistic image contains all cues.

Size

Size is one of the two strong clues.

Obscurance

Obscurance is the second strong clue.

Focus

With 3D glasses or a video-wall the participant will focus at infinity and expect nearer objects to be out of focus. On a desktop monitor the opposite is the case.

Fog

Fog makes objects further away less saturated.

Disparity

Objects nearer to the viewer have a larger disparity

Light

These images show the use of three depth clues. Light angle, shadow and light intensity.

Combined

Combining all clues but fog and disparity

All of the above
