The Effect of Contrast between Chromatic Stimulus Objects and Chromatic Backgrounds on Monocular Movement Parallax Threshold
Abstract
Parallax, in general, is the change in direction of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. The phenomenon can be noted if an observer fixates an object in the visual field and there is movement of the eye of the observer with respect to the visual field or, movement of the visual field with respect to the eye of the observer. Objects nearer to the eye than the fixated object appear to move faster than the fixated object and in the opposite direction. Objects more distant than the fixated object appear to move more slowly than the fixated object and in the same direction.
