Crossed disparity
Binocular disparity
A and B are at the same depth and thus have the same disparity (of zero since it is A that is fixated)
Uncrossed disparity: An object farther away than the horopter has uncrossed disparities. You must 'uncross' your eyes to fixate on it.
Crossed disparity: An object closer than the horopter has crossed disparity. You must 'cross' your eyes to fixate on it.

2. VISUAL ILLUSIONS
Andrew Stockman
Why study illusions? Seeing is not always believing Failures can provide an insight into how the visual system works They are fun Usually “perception” rather than “sensation”
Try to come up with your own explanations as we go through them…
Illusions of colour and luminance We’ve already encountered many illusions in the colour and luminance (and other) lectures. Even something as simple as a mixture of red and green spectral lights appearing identical to a yellow spectral light might be considered to be an illusion. However, once the biological basis of an effect becomes well understood, less likely to be thought of as an illusion.

The grating is simply contrast reversing. Move your finger along it from left to right with a speed such that you travel the distance in about 2 seconds, while following the finger with your gaze. At the right speed, you should perceive a smooth rightwards motion of the stripes. Now move your finger back. If you follow it again with your eyes, you will see smooth leftwards motion of the stripes. Michael Bach

Typical explanations Impressions of depth: the shorter lines are at an angle to the longer lines. This angle helps to create the impression that one end of the longer lines is nearer to us than the other end. Apparent changes in angle: the brain increases the angle between the long line and the shorter lines that cross it. As a result, the brain bends the longer lines towards or away from each other
